New Mexico was formed through a combination of geological processes over millions of years, including volcanic activity, sedimentation, and tectonic movements. Its diverse landscape, featuring mountains, desert, and plateaus, is a result of the uplift of the Rocky Mountains and the erosion of ancient rock layers. Additionally, the region's history includes the influence of indigenous cultures, Spanish colonization, and later incorporation into the United States in 1912. The unique geological features and rich cultural heritage contribute to New Mexico's identity today.

Originally, both formed part of the Territorio de Nuevo Mexico (New Mexico Territory) as well as some of the Sonoran territories (specifically, the Mesilla Valley which is now part of southern Arizona and New Mexico).During the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848, Mexico lost the New Mexico Territory. Later on, by means of the Gadsden Purchase in 1853, Mexico sold the Mesilla Valley to the United States.
