Spanish missionaries arrived to convert the Indian population to Christianity and by the mid 1600's, they had a number of farms in the Rio Grande Valley. The Spanish government of the New Mexico territory named the site of one of these, 'Villa de Albuquerque', in 1706. Albuquerque, New Mexico

Extractions: Sure, the annual International Balloon Fiesta in the fall brings in the crowds, but New Mexico's biggest city remains largely invisible in the shadow of its neighbor to the north. But Albuquerque has kicked off a yearlong celebration of its 300th birthday, coming in 2006, and it's time to put aside the tired stereotypes and explore this inviting low-rise city of a half-million people. Set at nearly a mile above sea level and lined with cottonwood trees, Albuquerque is blessed with magnificent geography - the snow-flecked Sandia Mountains towering to the east, extinct volcanoes to the west and the muddy Rio Grande at its heart. (Even if that geography sometimes is marred by big-box stores and haphazard architecture.) advertisement OAS_AD('BoxAd') But you won't just be dazzled by the natural setting. Founded by the Spanish in 1706 and named after the Duke of Alburquerque - the first "r" eventually was dropped - the city bears some of Santa Fe's rustic, colonial charm. Old Town is a faithfully maintained Latin plaza that features the beautiful San Felipe de Neri Church, historic buildings, restaurants, shops and American Indian artisans selling their wares. It is just west of downtown, which is along Central Avenue.

National Atomic Museum Operated by the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Atomic Museum containsa large built, and tested the world s first Atomic bomb in New Mexico. http://www.atomictourist.com/natatom.htm
Extractions: NATIONAL ATOMIC MUSEUM Operated by the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Atomic Museum contains a large collection of declassified nuclear technology. Since its opening in 1969, the objective of the National Atomic museum has been to provide a readily accessible repository of educational materials, and information on the Atomic Age. In addition, the museum's goal is to preserve, interpret, and exhibit to the public memorabilia of this Age. In late 1991 the museum was chartered by Congress as the United States' only official Atomic museum. Prominently featured in the museum's high bay is the story of the Manhattan Engineer District, the unprecedented 2.2 billion dollar scientific-engineering project that was centered in New Mexico during World War II. The Manhattan Project as it was more commonly called, developed, built, and tested the world's first Atomic bomb in New Mexico. This display also includes casings similar to the only Atomic bombs ever used in warfare. Dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, these two bombs helped bring World War II to an end in mid-August 1945. The story of the Manhattan Project's three secret cities , Hanford, Washington, Los Alamos, New Mexico, and Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is also presented in this area.

Ninfinger Productions: Trinity Site The National Atomic Museum s history of the first Atomic bomb test at TrinitySite in New Mexico. http://www.ninfinger.org/~sven/trinity/trin_brochure.html
Extractions: This text and photos are from the brochure handed out during our Trinity site tour. It is issued by the US Department of Energy, National Atomic Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The document is dated January 1994. Trinity Site On Monday morning July 16, 1945, the world was changed forever when the first atomic bomb was tested in an isolated area of the New Mexico desert. Conducted in the final month of World War II by the top-secret Manhattan Engineering District, this test was code named Trinity. The Trinity test took place on the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, about 230 miles south of the Manhattan Project's headquarters at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Today this 3,200 square mile range, partly located in the desolate Jornada del Muerto Valley, is named the White Sands Missile Range and is actively used for non-nuclear weapons testing. Before the war the range had been public and private grazing land that had always been thinly populated. During the war it was even more lonely and deserted because the ranchers had vacated their homes in January 1942. They left because the land had been withdrawn by the War Department for use as an artillery and bombing practice area shortly after the December 7, 1941, Japaneses attack on Pearl Harbor. In September 1944, a remote 18 by 24 square mile portion of the northeast corner of the Bombing Range was selected for the Trinity test by the military. The selection of this remote location in the Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death) Valley for the Trinity test was from an initial list of eight possible test sites. Besides the Jornada, three of the other seven sites were also located in New Mexico: the Tularosa Basin near Alamogordo, the lava beds (now the El Malpais National Monument) south of Grants, and an area southwest of Cuba and north of Thoreau. Other possible sites not located in New Mexico were: an Army training area north of Blythe, California, in the Mojave Desert; San Nicolas Island (one of the Channel Islands) off the coast of Southern California; and on Padre Island south of Corpus Christi, Texas, in the Gulf of Mexico. The last choice was in the beautiful San Luis Valley of south central Colorado, new today's Great Sand Dunes National Monument.
