ONE OF THE
THE CORE OF CENTRAL ALBUQUERQUE IS THE
“ORIGINAL TOWN SITE” FOUNDED UPON THE
ARRIVAL OF THE RAILROAD IN 1880, AND
HISTORICALLY REFERRED TO AS “NEW TOWN”
ALBUQUERQUE (OR “NEW ALBUQUERQUE”).
As the city grew during the course of the
twentieth century, the boundaries of Central
Albuquerque expanded as the new city annexed
newly formed sub-divisions and three previously
unincorporated communities into its boundaries:
the original Villa de Alburquerque founded by
Spanish colonists in 1706 (commonly known as
“Old Town” and located two miles west of the
railroad town); the seventeenth century Hispanic
village of Barelas (situated immediately south of
the original town site); and the neighborhoods
of Martineztown and Santa Barbara. Central
Albuquerque represents what most of the city’s
residents considered “downtown” for almost
80 years. It was the place where at one time or
another most people lived, worked, and shopped.
Today, its built environment reflects the historical
patterns of these activities. Read more at
