== Fun facts ==
* Eldorado is the nearest city to the Yearning for Zion Ranch, the reported new headquarters of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints headed by convicted sex offender felon Warren Jeffs. Over 400 children were removed from the compound in April 2008 by Texas Child Protective Services. Hundreds of children were taken into custody and temporarily placed into foster homes; the children were returned to their mothers shortly afterwards. A woman in Colorado City, Arizona, associated with the FLDS is suspected of reporting in this and other similar cases in Colorado City, Arizona.
** The ranch itself is now under physical and legal possession by the state of Texas.
* At the end of the 2007–2008 school year, the state of Texas ruled Eldorado High School as "Academically Unacceptable". In 2010, the school was ruled as "Academically Acceptable".
* The movie El Dorado, starring John Wayne and Robert Mitchum, takes place in this city during the late 1800s. However, El Dorado did not exist until 1895, well after the date John Wayne's El Dorado was supposedly set in a fictional Texas town.
* Eldorado has very little amenities to offer. It has a Subway, a municipal airport, electric showers, Carquest Auto Parts, a few local restaurants and businesses, a sports complex, a few public battle fields, dollar stores, a golf club, two motels, two RV parks, and that's about it.
