New Mexico was the Spanish name for the territory north and west of
the Rio Grande. New Mexico was admitted to the Union as the 47th
state in 1912. New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment because
of its scenic beauty and rich history. In 1540, the Spanish
conquistador Coronado trekked through the area known today as New
Mexico in search of the fabled seven cities of gold. The state has a
large Hispanic population, as New Mexico was under Spanish control
from the 16th century until about 1846. The influence of the Apache
Indians who live there is evident in the artwork and culture. The
Pueblo Indian presence is also very apparent, most visibly in the
tribe's buildings.
