Historical Marker

A spanish settlement, with houses built of red adobe or earthern bricks, was established in this vicinity in the 1740s. This community was soon abandoned, probably as a result of Apache raids, but was reoccupied in 1823 and developed into a bustling trade center along the Camino Real.
