Description | Known as Concordia during the 1840s,
this area was the home of Chihuahua
trader Hugh Stephenson. In 1856 his wife,
Juana (Ascarate), was buried in what is
now part of Concordia Cemetery. The graveyard
gained widespread use in the 1880s when
El Pasoans drove three miles to Concordia to
bury their dead. By 1890 various sections
had been purchased by different groups
and were designated Catholic, Masonic,
Jewish, Black, Chinese, Military, Jesuit,
city, and county.
