New Mexico History Overview
Humans have occupied New Mexico since nomadic hunters began tracking the Wooly Mammoth into the territory over 10,000 years ago. Such early civilizations gave way to Indian tribes and today the oldest known Indian reservations in the world are found in Eastern New Mexico. More still are found in the northwestern part of the state, which have been preserved exceedingly well due to New Mexico's dry climate. In the late 16th century, Spanish explorers arrived and built a series of forts and missions in the state; the style of these early explorers has significant influence on the region's architecture still today. New Mexico's distinctive culture was created from anglo settlers, prospectors and adventurers who mixed with the Spanish, Mexican and Native American people of the region. Today, we see many influences of New Mexico's past on the state's modern culture, buildings, roads, rail lines and tourist attractions.
DID YOU KNOW:
- New Mexico is world famous for its Native American pottery and jewlery.
- The oldest capitol in America is the New Mexican capitol of Sante Fe. Established in 1610, Santa Fe existed well before the U.S. was recognized as an sovereign nation.
