Santa Fe, which means holy faith, was part of the Spanish Empire from 1692 to 1821 and after gaining independence from Spain, it was the capital city of the Mexican Province of New Mexico from 1821 to 1846. It was then in 1848 when Mexico signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, relinquishing New Mexico (as well as California) to the United States.
In 1848, Colonel Edwin Sumner of the U.S. Army described Santa Fe as “barren, drab, dusty and poor.” The city has certainly changed from its beginnings more than a century ago and today, it’s a popular destination throughout the year.
