Corrales
-
A village in modern New Mexico, USA which was founded by [Pueblo] Indians centuries ago and indicated as a [pueblo] in Spanish maps as early as 1776. There are many indications that, whatever name it was called, this sloping, [fertile crescent] on the banks of the Rio Grande was settled by pueblo peoples for hundreds, if not thousands of years before Cortez wandered through the area. Today Corrales is a mostly rural community, unique in being a true, independent village nearly totally swallowed by a large metropolitan area (Albuquerque/[Rio Rancho]), yet wholly dedicated to the agrarian lifestyle and arts. A gem of the Southwest.
