About New Mexico
The region north of Mexico was named Nuevo Mexico by a Spanish explorer in the 1560s. The name was translated and applied to the United States territory in 1850 and later to the state when it became the 47th member of the Union on January 6, 1912. New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment.
New Mexico is one of the Mountain states located in the southwestern United States. A land covered with plains, plateaus, and mountains, New Mexico is known for the large diversity and brilliant colors of its landscape. Much of the land is used for livestock grazing.
The state’s small population is composed of Native Americans, people of Spanish descent, whose ancestors entered what is now New Mexico in the 16th century, and the so-called Anglo-Americans. Together these groups constitute a multicultural society unlike that of any other state.
Many things in New Mexico are reminders of an earlier time. Some illustrations of this are Native American festivities, adobe villages, and the many remaining examples pre-Columbian and Spanish architecture. Despite this, New Mexico also played a role in the development of the atomic age. When the first atomic bomb was detonated in 1945 at the Trinity site in White Sands Proving Grounds, New Mexico became an important center for nuclear research and development.
Manufacturing and other urban-based economic activities are carried on in only a few cities. Tourists, attracted not only by the scenic beauty of New Mexico’s deserts and mountains but also by the rich Native American and Spanish cultures that distinguish the state, have become an important part of the state’s economy.
Santa Fe is the capital of New Mexico, and was so when the state was under Spanish rule. The city was on its way to becoming an important train stop, until the railroads found a simpler, easier route. The resulting economic downturn was met with attempts by the city to become more attractive to tourists. As a result, the majority of the structures in the town are designed to appear older, and in the style of Spanish adobe houses.
Albuquerque is the largest city in New Mexico. The city was founded in 1706 as a Spanish colonial outpost. Present-day Albuquerque retains much of the Spanish cultural and historical heritage. Visitors to the city can also see the annual Gathering of Nations, an international event featuring over 3,000 indigenous Native American dancers and singers representing more than 500 tribes from Canada and the United States. Dancers and singers participate socially and competitively at the event, held in April.
Albuquerque is also home to the largest hot air balloon gathering in the world, called the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Held during early October, it was started in 1972 with 13 balloons. The event grew, and in 2000 there were a record 1000 balloons that attended and lifted off in a mass ascension. Since then, festival organizers allow no more than 700 balloons to register, for the sake of safety. This event is the most photographed event in the world.
