The Original Feast
Although it’s widely accepted that the very first Thanksgiving happened in Massachusetts in 1621, some people believe otherwise.
Not only do they think the first feast occurred earlier, in 1598, but that it also took place in San Elizario, Texas, near El Paso.
According to the story, to celebrate surviving their travel through the Chihuahuan Desert, Spaniard Juan de Onate and 500 members of his crew threw a huge feast of fish when they made it to Texas.
