Early Villages Along the Manzano Mountains
Settlers from Tome, Valencia, Casa Colorada, La Joya and other early communities along the Rio Grande River used the plains east of the Manzano Mountains for grazing their sheep herds into the mid-1700s.
Yet, the Spanish settlers did not build permanent homes east of the Manzano Mountains after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 until the 1820s. In 1815, the Spanish governor of New Mexico asked the colonists living along the Rio Grande to begin a colonization movement east of the Manzano Mountains.
