The Rio Grande Ran Down Mills Street and Cleveland Square Was a Cemetery
Ponce De Leon (the rancher, not the explorer) had his ranch house on the site of the big 12 stories Anson Mills building when El Paso was a goat ranch.
The river ran down Mills Street in the days before Park Pitman was county clerk, which was a long time ago.
