The History of Albuquerque, New Mexico

  • Albuquerque’s history is filled with false starts, and foreboding events. It began with violence and deception, but has grown into a burgeoning and diverse city that dwarfs all others in New Mexico. Most people only know it as a place where Walter White made blue meth in Breaking Bad, or where Bug Bunny always took a wrong turn, but Albuquerque has a fascinating past that’s way more than I can even say here.

    Wiki: Albuquerque (/ˈælbəkɜːrki/ (About this soundlisten) AL-bə-kur-kee; Navajo: Beeʼeldííl Dahsinil [pèːʔèltíːl tɑ̀xsɪ̀nɪ̀l]; Eastern Keres: Arawageeki; Jemez: Vakêêke; Zuni: Alo:ke:k'ya; Jicarilla Apache: Gołgéeki'yé), abbreviated as ABQ, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of New Mexico, and the 32nd-most populous city in the United States. The city’s nicknames are The Duke City and Burque, both of which reference its 1706 founding as La Villa de Alburquerque in Nuevo México, as an outpost on El Camino Real for the Tiquex and Hispano towns in the area (such as Barelas, Corrales, Isleta Pueblo, Los Ranchos, and Sandia Pueblo).[5] Since the city’s founding, it has continued to be included on travel and trade routes including Route 66, Interstate 25, Interstate 40, and the Albuquerque International Sunport. The population census-estimated population of the city as 560,218 in 2018, it is the principal city of the Albuquerque metropolitan area, which has 915,927 residents as of July 2018.[6] Albuquerque's Metropolitan statistical area is the 60th-largest in the United States. The Albuquerque MSA population includes the cities of Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, Placitas, Los Lunas, Belen, South Valley, and Bosque Farms, and forms part of the larger Albuquerque-Santa Fe-Las Vegas combined statistical area, with a total population of 1,171,991 in 2016.

      I hear people complaining all the time nowadays that Sadie's has gone downhill. But I can't imagine it's gotten worse than Frontier that's for sure. I only go to the (sort of) original 4th Street Sadie's (the real original bowling alley location doesnt exist anymore). And I haven't been in a while. But it was perfectly fine when I went within the last year ... When I think "New Mexican Food" I think Sadie's, 1000%, period.

      Alexander Herlan well, the REAL original Sadie’s was a walk up stand at Osuna and 2nd (my mom grew up on Montano between 2nd and 4th and always talked about the original location). I’m not a big fan of Sadie’s because I just feel like they just want to go for HOT and no other flavor to their Chile. I like my Chile more medium or medium-hot.

(between those stints, he lived in Indiana, where I was born). My Mom worked at Sandia air base, where they put the nuclear bombs on the missiles.

    Fun to watch. My great- grandfather immigrated to Albuquerque around 1890 from Hoganes Sweden. Green to brown to say the least. My recently born (dec 5) grandson is 5th gen Albuquerquean - not too bad for an Anglo, huh - but nothing for an indigenous. Despite all the negatives, obviously Burque and New Mexico in general, have a lot to offer. Thanks...

      New Mexico is the best !

      Well, since I'm descended from Washington line on my dad's side, we'll consider that "Anglo " - however out here in NM, Anglo is sort of a catchall term meaning, basically, "whitey". So I guess I qualify on both counts!

Now I look on it with fondness, flaws and all, and I look forward to taking my kids back there once air travel is safe again. Also, I was required to take NM History in school and I absolutely hated it, but that was mostly down to a bad teacher. Your presentation here was much more engaging.

I’m now leaving with more understanding, and not as much focus on the crime, poor living standards that many people are okay with down there, the third world feel basically, and I hope to keep doing this with any place or thing that I don’t exactly like.

      It's too bad some people have discouraging things to say about it, but I guess that's what makes everybody different. We all have our preferences. I went to elementary school in Arizona. But my Junior High and High School years were in Albuquerque. When I was old enough, I moved back to Arizona thinking it was _"home."_ Then I realized that Albuquerque was my home. Now my fiancé and I are thinking of where we would like to live. And we have yet to find a place that we like better than here.
      The weather is wonderful. We get all the seasons, but none of them to the extreme. We don't have to worry about severe weather like hurricanes. And certainly no earthquakes. I've been back for 30 years now.
      It's a fantastic place, IMO.

We had heard of the Unsers but we weren't super into racing really, just looking to kill some time. We walk in the front door and there's a friendly old guy greeting people but we didn't pay much attention to him. Round the corner and get to the first exibit and see the pictures and that's when I realized we'd just blown off Al Unser in his own museum.
