Best Answer

The city was founded by Spanish explorer Don Pedro de Peralta as part of Mexico and New Spain in 1607, and was the second capital of the province of Santa Fe de Nuevo México. It is the oldest capital city in the US.

Its original Spanish name was La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís

(the Spanish term Santa Fe means "holy faith")
