Santa Fe (New Mexico)
Santa Fe is a city in the southern United States, the administrative center of the state of New Mexico, and the administrative center and largest city of Santa Fe County. The population is 67,947.

1.1. History as part of New Spain and Mexico
On the site of the present Santa Fe, there were originally several pueblo villages that settled here since the XI century AD. One of the earliest known settlements was located on the site of today’s business center of the city and was called Ogopogo. Don Juan de Onate led the first attempt to colonize the region in 1598, creating the province of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico as part of New Spain. The provincial capital was the small town of San Juan de Los Caballeros, north of present-day Santa Fe, near the present-day Oke Ovinge Reservation. The second Spanish governor, Don Pedro de Peralta, founded in 1610 a new city at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, which he named La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asis, the Royal City of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi. In 1610, he made it the provincial capital, which it has remained ever since, making it the oldest capital in what is now the United States. Santa Fe is the second oldest American city founded by European colonists in existence, second only to St. Augustine in Florida in 1565. It should be noted that a number of historians do not recognize this status for Santa Fe, since in 1680-1692 it was abandoned due to Indian raids. Several settlements, such as First Pensacola and Fort Caroline, were founded before St. Augustine but failed. Until the Mexican War of Independence, Santa Fe remained a quiet, uneventful provincial town, with the exception of the period 1680-1692, when the rebel pueblos massacred many Spanish settlers, including women and children, forcing the few survivors to flee south. The territory was returned to Spanish control by Diego de Vargas in 1692. In 1824, the city’s status as the capital of the province of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico was enshrined in the Constitution of 1824.

1.2. History as part of the United States
The Republic of Texas declared Santa Fe part of West Texas after seceding from Mexico in 1836. In 1841, a small military and trading expedition set out from Austin to gain control of Santa Fe. The unit is known as the “ Santa Fe Expeditionary Force ” was poorly trained and was captured without much difficulty by the Mexican army. In 1846, the United States declared war on Mexico, and Brigadier General Stephen Carney led the bulk of his ” Western Army ” of approximately 1,700 soldiers to Santa Fe and occupied the city, declaring all of New Mexico U.S. territory. By 1848, the United States had officially acquired the rights to New Mexico under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Colonel Alexander William Doniphan, who was appointed quartermaster of Santa Fe, found a large amount of military equipment in the city with the inscription “Spain, 1776“, which clearly demonstrates the neglect of the Mexican government to supply the northern provinces. As part of the United States, Santa Fe until the end of the XIX century was considered a poor, unimportant city with no prospects for economic development. For several days in March 1862, Santa Fe was under the control of a Confederate Army detachment commanded by Brigadier General Henry Sibley, but the Confederates were soon driven out of the city by the Northerners. Santa Fe was originally intended as a junction station for the Topeka–Santa Fe Railroad. But, after a detailed study of the geological conditions of the future route, it was decided to lay it through the city of Lamy to the south of Santa Fe, which further significantly slowed down the development of the city. In 1912, New Mexico became the 47th state in the United States, with Santa Fe as its capital the choice of capital was preceded by lengthy discussions, but in the end, the city’s status as the capital of the territory for several centuries played a key role.
