Senecú, Chihuahua

Senecú is a small Mexican village on the outskirts of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. It is at an altitude of 1,123 m. and lies within the Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem.
Senecú del Sur was founded in 1682 by Piro Indians from Senecú, New Mexico, who fled south along with the Spanish after the Pueblo Revolt. There is evidence that some Tompiro joined the pueblo. Originally it was located on the north side of the Rio Grande, with its mission church, a governor, a war-chief, and subordinate officials." The old church identified in 1901 is gone, replaced by a modern church. The 1910 Mexican Revolution caused some members of the community to flee across the border to Ysleta and Socorro del Sur.
The Pueblo is commemorated by a stone monument on Alameda Street, in El Paso, about 1½ miles west of the Ysleta Mission.
