About New MexicoFrom early man to the Indian cliff-dwellers to the
Spanish conquistadors and priests to the Anglo arrival in the mid-1800s,
New Mexico has lived through thousands of centuries. We became a state
in 1912 and to this day the Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures mix
their cultures, traditions, and talents, and yet they remain distinct.
