New Mexico Real Estate
A state of the southwest United
States on the Mexican border. It was admitted as the 47th state in
1912. Site of prehistoric cultures that long preceded the Pueblo
civilization encountered by the Spanish in the 16th century, the
region was governed as a province of Mexico after 1821 and ceded to
the United States by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. The
original territory (established 1850) included Arizona and part of
Colorado and was enlarged by the Gadsden Purchase of 1853. Sante Fe is
the capital and Albuquerque the largest city. Population: 1,521,779.
