Santa Fe |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Santa Fe was one of the first European settlements in the present-day United States. It was first settled by the Spanish in 1610. They controlled it until 1821, when the region came under Mexican control. Santa Fe became part of the U.S. state of New Mexico in 1848. The city was an important stop on overland trails, such as the Santa Fe Trail, which were traveled by settlers moving west. | ||||||
