They settled in about 1609.
When Francisco Vazquez de Coronado first explored these lands, on 1542. The first Spanish settlements on New Mexico was the San Juan de los Caballeros colony, founded by Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate in 1598.
Settled by the Spanish in 1609, Santa Fe, New Mexico is the oldest capitol in the U.S.
No! All the 13 colonies were on the East Coast of the continent. New Mexico may have been visited by some of the Spanish conquistidors at that point in time, but was not settled.
Never. Both Mexico and the territory of New Mexico were conquered and/or settled by the Spanish Empire, since Mexico was "discovered" by Hernan Cortes in 1519. Mexico became an overseas territory of the Spanish Empire from 1521 until the end of Mexico's War of Independence (1810-1821) against Spain.
Jamestown, colonized by the British, was the first successful colony in North America.
