Aztec Ruins National Monument, Unearthing the Ancient Stories
Aztec Ruins National Monument New Mexico
The folks at Aztec Ruins National Monument near Farmington, New Mexico, would be the first to tell you that Chaco Canyon was not the only place Ancestral Puebloans developed large pueblos. The great houses in Aztec, 70 miles north of the Chaco Canyon pueblos, were built between 1100 and 1300 A.D. Despite the name, this pueblo was not built by the Aztecs; their empire in central Mexico would not come to fruition until the 15th century and they never expanded this far to the north.
So, why call abandoned pueblos in Northern New Mexico “Aztec”? Early settlers in the late 1800s heard tales of Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortez defeating the Aztecs in 1521 and used that name to identify their community in the Four Corners region.
