Socorro is also home to the Socorro High School Bulldogs. They are known for many things. but particularly they are known for their prowess in baseball. Socorro High is a former State champion in baseball. In a State as big as Texas. that is a pretty impressive feat. The roots of Socorro began to take shape in 1680 when Governor Antonio de Otermin and Father Francisco de Ayeta led the Spanish and Piro Indian refugees who were fleeing the New Mexico Pueblo Indian revolt to the El Paso area. Two years later. they built a mission. Nuestra Senora de la Limpia Concepcion del Socorro. the secondoldest mission in Texas.
