Ysleta Mission
The Ysleta Mission, located in the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo within the municipality of El Paso, Texas, is recognized as the oldest continuously operated parish in the State of Texas. The Ysleta community is also recognized as the oldest in Texas and claims to have the oldest continuously cultivated plot of land in the United States.〔("Texas Historical Commission-Mission in Texas, Site of First Ysleta Marker No. 4786" ) Retrieved 27 March 2010〕〔("Texas Historical Commission-Oldest Mission in Texas-Historical Marker No. 3843" ) Retrieved 27 March 2010〕
==Early history==
In 1680, as a result of the Pueblo Revolt, the Tigua (Tiwa) tribe was forced to flee from their ancestral home, Isleta Pueblo, located south of present-day Albuquerque, New Mexico. Some of the pueblo people fled to Hopi territory in Arizona while others followed Spanish colonists as they retreated southward. The Spanish and Comanches eventually settled in El Paso del Norte (present day El Paso, TX) where they established the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and where the Ysleta Mission was founded.〔("Library of Congress, Historic American Building Survey record for Ysleta Mission" ) Retrieved 27 March 2010〕 The spelling of ''Ysleta'' with a "Y" and the term ''del Sur'' (south) was to differentiate the new settlement from the mother pueblo, ''Isleta''. In 1682, the Tigua people built a permanent structure out of adobe and, in October of that year, the building was formally dedicated by Bishop Salpointe of Tucson and named ''La Misión de Corpus Christi de San Antonio de la Ysleta del Sur'' in honor of the Tigua's patron saint, Saint Anthony (San Antonio).
Over the next two centuries the mission was relocated several times due to flooding of the Rio Grande. In 1829 one such flood washed away the structure. The flood also resulted in the river cutting a new course further south and the area where the church had been located was no longer considered a part of Mexico but of the Republic of Texas. In 1897 the structure was remodeled and the now familiar gables and bee-hive bell tower were added. A fire in 1907, caused by chemicals stored in the bell tower to repel bats, resulted in massive damage to the building. The church was rebuilt in 1908 and remains much the same today. The church prospered and in 1918 Our Lady of Mount Carmel School was established and it remained open until 2005 when the church closed it.〔 The Texas Historical Commission erected historical markers at the Ysleta Mission in the following years: 1936 – First mission and pueblo in Texas,〔("Texas Historical Commission-First Mission and Pueblo in Texas" ) Retrieved 28 March 2010〕 1962 – Site of first mission in Texas,〔 and 1970 – Oldest mission in Texas.〔 On July 31, 1972, the Ysleta Mission was added to the National Register of Historic Places.〔 〕
