Founded in 1659 as El Paso del Norte, the city received its current name in 1888 to honor President Benito Juárez who established headquarters there during 1865.

The Guadalupe Mission from 1662 and the Municipal History Museum display artifacts that represent the development of this important Mexican settlement through centuries.

More than 300 manufacturing plants operate in Ciudad Juárez, making it a central industrial hub for electronics, medical instruments, and automotive parts production.
