The Native Americans built homes that centered around the site of today’s Plaza. With a population now over 69,000 Santa Fe meaning holy faith

In 1680, Lamy arrived to Santa Fe and became a bishop. He built the Santa Fe Saint Francis New Mexico. During 1692, the New Mexico territory was reconquered by a Spaniard named Don Diego de Vargas.
