Was old elpaso salsa founded in Texas?

Old El Paso is a brand name owned by General Mills. The brand was created in 1917 by a New Mexico native named Fred Harvey. Harvey was a restaurateur who operated a chain of restaurants along the Santa Fe Railroad. He created the Old El Paso brand to sell his own line of Mexican food products to his customers.

While Old El Paso is not technically a Texan company, it is closely associated with the state of Texas. The brand's name and logo both evoke images of the Wild West, and its products are often used in Tex-Mex cuisine. Additionally, Old El Paso has a large manufacturing plant in El Paso, Texas.
