More than a decade before Plymouth Colony was settled by the Mayflower Pilgrims, Santa Fe, New Mexico was established with a small cluster of European type dwellings. A number of cultures played key roles in Santa Fe's development: Native Americans who settled long before 1610, Hispanic, European and African Americans of diverse backgrounds. The influences from these groups have contributed to make Santa Fe one of the most diverse and culturally rich communities anywhere.
Now as it is commemorating its 400th Anniversary, Santa Fe has selected Jose Garcia as its first official City Historian. Join Mr. Garcia as he presents his own special approach to the telling of Santa Fe’s long and fascinating history.
As a Northern New Mexico historian and genealogist, Mr. Garcia has researched the history of New Mexico extensively. He is particularly well-versed in the history of Santa Fe from the colonial era to the present and has completed research in local archives as well as archives in Spain.
This event is free and open to the public.
