Taos Pueblo ancestors have occupied this valley since about 1000 AD, fully 500 years before Columbus sailed to the New World.

Rio Pueblo running through Taos Pueblo (from a visit last June). From TaosPueblo.org - "The adobe structures are estimated to be over a thousand years old. The Adobe structures are mudded every year by owners of the homes or by a designated group of men. The majority of the homes are still owned and maintained by the family. Homes are generally passed down from one generation to the next with, usually, the eldest son being the sole owner." | New Mexico Nomad
