Outstanding Men & Women of El Paso County
Hall of Honor
Each year, the El Paso County Historical Society selects living and deceased individuals considered to be outstanding men or women of character, vision, courage, and creative spirit. These individuals must have lived in El Paso county and have consistently done the unusual which deserves to be written or recorded, or have made El Paso County better for having lived in it. Each inductee is distinguished as having influenced over a period of years the course of history of El Paso County, or by their singular achievements have brought honor and recognition to the EL Paso community and have directed us toward worthy goals and merit being remembered by all El Pasoans as an exemplary guide to our future.
