Founded in 1706 as the Spanish colonial
outpost of Alburquerque, present-day Albuquerque retains much Spanish cultural
and historical heritage.
Albuquerque is the largest city in the state of New Mexico and it is the county
seat of Bernalillo County, situated in the central part of the state, straddling
the Rio Grande.
It is a multi-cultural community combining the closeness of family and culinary
delightfulness and magic of the Mexican American culture.
Albuquerque is a city
of contrasts.
Nestled between the towering Sandia Mountains and the Rio Grande
Valley, the city of Albuquerque is rich with culture and heritage, breathtaking
landscape and equipped with vibrant energy that's indispensable to a fast-growing
city. |
Albuquerque has grown from 5,000 residents
at the onset of the railroad era in the 1880s to more than 550,000 in the year
2000, in the metro area alone.
New Mexico ranks as the 12th state in the nation
for growth, due in large part to the rapid population growth of the Albuquerque
metropolitan area.
