Mission San Lorenzo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mission San Lorenzo was established at Paso del Norte by Fray Francisco Ayeta.
Arriving here on October 9, 1680, Governor Antonio de Otermín established this site as his headquarters after fleeing the Pueblo revolt. Suma Indians occupied the area, with their numbers falling from 155 in 1750 to 58 in 1760. Eventually incorporated into the town of Ascarate, the area is now part of El Paso, Texas.
