San Gabriel On The Camino Real

Governor Juan de Oñate set up his headquarters in the San Juan Pueblo in 1598, but by 1601 he had moved the Spanish capitol across the Rio Grande to Yuque-Yunque Pueblo. Named San Gabriel, it served as the seat of government until 1610, when Oñate's successor founded a new capitol in Santa Fe.
