Pueblo of Santo Domingo

Historical marker location:

State Route 22, Pueblo of Santo Domingo, New Mexico

( north of Santo Domingo)

The Keresan people of Santo Domingo have occupied the area of the Rio Grande Valley since prehistoric times despite several floods that have forced relocation and reconstruction of the original pueblo. Strategically located along the roads that have led to La Bajada, this pueblo and its people have played an important role in the history of the Camino Real.
