Founded in 1706 • Incorporated in 1891
Albuquerque was founded in 1706 as an outpost as La Villa de Alburquerque by Francisco Cuervo y Valdés in the provincial kingdom of Santa Fe de Nuevo México and named in honor of the Viceroy of New Spain, Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, 10th duke of Alburquerque (Spain).
By 1821, Albuquerque was built in the traditional Spanish villa pattern: a central plaza surrounded by government buildings, homes, and a church. This central plaza area has been preserved and is open to the public as a cultural area and center of commerce. It is referred to as “Old Town Albuquerque” or simply “Old Town”.
The City of Albuquerque is a hub for technology and media companies, historic landmarks, a diverse restaurant scene including New Mexican cuisine, University of New Mexico, and the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the world’s largest gathering of hot-air balloons, taking place every October at Balloon Fiesta Park, with its 47-acre launch field.
The Navajo, Apache, and Comanche peoples were also likely to have set camps in the Albuquerque area, as there is evidence of trade and cultural exchange between the different Native American groups going back centuries before European arrival.
Albuquerque’s local residents are rolling out the “Welcome to Albuquerque” and the “You’re Welcome Here!”, welcome mats to visitors, local entrepreneurs, new startups, online sales, business founders, new residents, new contributors, and more value-added Albuquerque businesses.
Albuquerque encourages its residents to become inventors and creators of startups in retail, music, beauty, healthcare, legal, law, sports, legal services, medical technology, tech support, media services, information technology (IT), restaurants, makeup, online sales, and education technology to help Albuquerque’s local business community to grow and prosper.
