Chamizal
Chamizal National Memorial, located in El Paso, Texas, commemorates the peaceful settlement of the Chamizal boundary dispute. The dispute arose when the Rio Grande changed its course, moving the boundary between the United States and Mexico. After years of tension and several failed attempts at negotiation, the governments of the United States and Mexico agreed to submit the dispute to the International Court of Arbitration in The Hague. In 1963, the court issued a ruling in favor of Mexico, and the two countries agreed to a plan for demarcating the new boundary. As part of that plan, President Lyndon Johnson signed legislation establishing Chamizal National Memorial.
