Historical Marker

This is one of several plazas established along the Rio Costilla in 1849 within the Sangre de Cristo land grant. Settlers built acequias, farmed, raised stock and established commerce along New Mexico's northern frontier. De Vargas crossed this valley during his reconquest of New Mexico.
