While Benito Juárez was in Villa Paso Del Norte (present-day Ciudad Juárez) in 1865-1866, he initiated a formal complaint to the US Government requesting a resolution to the boundary dispute that would become known as “The Chamizal Problem.” Nearly 100 years after his request, President Lyndon Baines Johnson and President Adolfo López Mateos celebrated the successful and peaceful settlement of this dispute.
