At the end of the article, the author says that "no one now appears to know where El Paso was located."

El Paso, Kansas, was on K-15 in Sedgwick County. I passed through there many times when I lived in Mulvane.

The town is still there and has a population of around 23,000, but since 1956 the town has been officially known as Derby.

There was also an El Paso County, Kansas, carved with five other counties out of Arapahoe County, Kansas.

El Paso County still exists today but is now the home of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
