Historical Marker

Spanish colonization of this region, once the location of many Tiwa Indian pueblos, began in the 17th century. Corrales is named for the extensive corrals built here by Juan Gonzales, founder of Alameda. In the 18th century this area was subject to Comanche attacks, and was raided by Navajos as late as 1851.
