Chamizal National Memorial

Chamizal National Memorial

Photo : Chamizal National Memorial sign located downtown El Paso, Texas. In far west Texas, near El Paso, the Chamizal Convention (Treaty) was actually originally signed by the two countries' Ambassadors on August 29, 1963 in Mexico City not by the Presidents; Thomas Mann for the US and Manuel Tello for Mexico; the Chamizal Treaty was later ratified and signed by then US President Lyndon B. Johnson on December 20, 1963 since JFK was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963. That treaty peacefully resolved a boundary issue that had been a sore point between the two nations for over 100 years. Because the Rio Grande had changed course, as rivers do, the two countries couldn’t agree on the exact international boundary. The 1963 treaty equitably divided 600 acres between the two countries. Chamizal is one of two national park sites in America that commemorate a peaceful solution to an international boundary dispute. (The other is San Juan Island National Historical Park in Washington state.) http://www.npca.org/parks/chamizal-national-memorial.html
