SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1-4 P.M.

Second Saturday: New Mexico’s Spanish and Mexican Land Grants: An Enduring Legacy Free event at Casa San Ysidro One of the enduring legacies that the Spanish and Mexican governments left in New Mexico is the process by which these governments distributed land. This presentation by Robert Torres will examine the process through which these governments gave land to their citizens as rewards for service, to encourage the colonization of a frontier, and to promote economic growth by granting land to individuals and groups. The success of this land grant system can be measured by the fact that most New Mexico communities established before 1860 are based on such land grants, and many descendants of New Mexico’s early pioneers still live on the lands granted to their ancestors as long as 300 years ago.
