El Paso:
Sun City
and El Chuco. So named because of all the peopl from Los Angeles that came down. Back in the days of the zoot suits, many people (mostly Mexicans) were having to leave Los Angeles for some reason or another, so they came down here to El Paso. These zoot suiters were calledPachucos and so when men were either getting ready to leave, or trying to figure out where to go, they would say Vamos pa el chuco and so that is how El Paso got the nickname, El Chuco.
