Santa Fe, NM has a rich history dating back to at least 900 AD. When I lived in New England, many people believed that their relatives were pioneers of civilization in North America, with ancestors that could be traced back to the 1700s. However, even by European standards, La Villa Real de la Santa Fé de San Francisco de Asís is much older than Mayflower era settlements, having been founded in 1610.

    I was all excited to check out Taos, but it was just “Don Fernando de Taos”. Sounds like a car dealership.
