The new podcast 'Engines of Texanity' focuses on the 10 engines that most meaningfully propelled Texas history forward.
Mike Persyn, a farmer for the San Antonio Food Bank, diverts water from the San Juan Acequia to a demonstration garden near the mission in 2018.When Don Juan de Oñate crossed the Rio Grande in 1598 at a spot he called “El Paso del Rio del Norte,” he didn’t just bring with him. He also brought over 500 colonists intent on establishing the Spanish model of self-governing city-states throughout the area.
Roman and Arab engineering had established irrigation systems in the Iberian peninsula. Bringing this Old World legacy with them, the Spanish contracted the native Tlaxcalans as engineers to build the actual irrigation systems in the new world, due to their own legacy of constructing irrigation systems, dating back to as early as 800 B.C. This Spanish/Tlaxcalan irrigation society spread steadily north.
After numerous hardships pushed settlers back to Texas in 1680, five different flood-irrigated communities sprang up along a 9-mile stretch of the Rio Grande running through the modern-day cities of El Paso and Ciudad Juarez, irrigating something like 15,000 acres.
