New Mexico has a population of about 2,000,000 people. The lowest temperature on record was minus 50 degrees and the highest was 122 F. Around 1542, a Spanish explorer, on the hunt for gold, traipsed around the region which became New Mexico. The first settlement, which was Spanish, grew up on the Rio Grande River in 1598. Santa Fe was founded in 1610 and made the capital of New Mexico. The US got most of New Mexico in 1848, because of the Mexican War, and it received the remainder in 1853, due to the Gadsden Purchase.

During the Civil War, Union troops took New Mexico from the Confederates. Geronimo surrendered in 1886, and after this the Apache Wars and most other Indian conflicts ended. New Mexico has been a leader in energy development and research since 1945. Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, as well as Sandia laboratories, were, and are, instrumental in the solar, nuclear, and geothermal areas of energy development. New Mexico has rich mineral deposits and is one of the leaders in potassium salts and uranium. Copper, natural gas, petroleum, zinc, silver, gold, lead, as well as molybdenum are big money makers for the state.

Main manufacturing industries are chemicals, food, transportation equipment, lumber, and stone, clay, and glass products. Farming produces products from sheep, sorghum, pecans, cotton, peanuts, and many other agricultural items. There are some wonderful sites to visit in New Mexico and they include the Carlsbad Caverns, the ruins located at Fort Union, Inscription Rock (El Morro Natl. Monument), Billy the Kid mementos, White Sands, and the Chaco Culture Natl. Historical Park.
