Albuquerque, New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico Balloon Fiesta, Downtown Albuquerque Flag of Albuquerque, New Mexico Flag Official seal of Albuquerque, New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico is positioned in New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico - Albuquerque, New Mexico State New Mexico New Mexico Albuquerque (Listeni/ lb k rki/ al-b -kurk-ee) is the most crowded city in the U.S. The high-elevation town/city serves as the governmental center of county of Bernalillo County, and it is situated in the central part of the state, straddling the Rio Grande.

Albuquerque was titled in honor of Francisco, Duke of Alburquerque, who was viceroy of New Spain from 1653 to 1660. The burgeoning village soon to turn into Albuquerque was titled by provincial governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdes. The first "r" in Alburquerque was later dropped, probably due to association with the prominent general Alfonso de Albuquerque, whose family title (among others), and then name, originated from the border Spanish town, but used a variant spelling in their name. Western folklore offers a different explanation, tracing the name Albuquerque to the Galician word albaricoque, meaning "apricot".

Petroglyphs carved into the basalt just west of present-day Albuquerque bear testimony to early Native American existence in the area, now preserved by the Petroglyph National Monument. The Navajo, Apache and Comanche citizens s were likely to have set camps in the Albuquerque area, as there is evidence of trade and cultural exchange between the different Native American groups going back centuries before European conquest. Albuquerque was established in 1706 as the Spanish colonial outpost of Villa de Alburquerque. Present-day Albuquerque retains much of its historical Spanish cultural heritage. Old Town Albuquerque Plaza Albuquerque was a farming improve and strategically positioned military outpost along the Camino Real. The town was also the sheep-herding center of the West. Spain established a presidio (military garrison) in Albuquerque in 1706. It is referred to as "Old Town Albuquerque" or simply "Old Town." After the American occupation of New Mexico, Albuquerque had a federal garrison and quartermaster depot, the Post of Albuquerque, from 1846 to 1867. During the Civil War Albuquerque was occupied in February 1862 by Confederate troops under General Henry Hopkins Sibley, who soon afterward advanced with his chief body into northern New Mexico. During his retreat from Union troops into Texas he made a stand on April 8, 1862, at Albuquerque and fought the Battle of Albuquerque against a detachment of Union soldiers commanded by Colonel Edward R. Downtown Albuquerque in 1880 When the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad appeared in 1880, it bypassed the Plaza, locating the passenger depot and railyards about 2 miles (3 km) east in what quickly became known as New Albuquerque or New Town. Many Anglo merchants, mountain men, and pioneer slowly filtered into Albuquerque creating a primary mercantile commercial center which is now Downtown Albuquerque. New Albuquerque was incorporated as a town in 1885, with Henry N. Jaffa its first mayor, and it was incorporated as a town/city in 1891.:232 233 Old Town remained a separate improve until the 1920s when it was combined by the town/city of Albuquerque. Old Albuquerque High School, the city's first enhance high school, was established in 1879. By 1900, Albuquerque boasted a populace of 8,000 inhabitants and all the undivided amenities, including an electric street stockyards connecting Old Town, New Town, and the recently established University of New Mexico ground on the East Mesa. New Mexico's dry climate brought many tuberculosis patients to the town/city in search of a cure amid the early 20th century, and a several sanitaria sprang up on the West Mesa to serve them. Influential New Deal era governor Clyde Tingley and famed Southwestern architect John Gaw Meem were among those brought to New Mexico by tuberculosis.

In June 2007, Albuquerque was listed as the sixth fastest-growing town/city in America by CNN and the United States Enumeration Bureau. In 1990, the Enumeration Bureau reported Albuquerque's populace as 34.5% Hispanic and 58.3% non-Hispanic white. Albuquerque's downtown entered the same phase and evolution (decline, "urban renewal" with continued decline, and gentrification) as nearly every town/city athwart the United States. As Albuquerque spread outward, the downtown region fell into a decline. During the 21st century, the Albuquerque populace has continued to expanded rapidly. Because of less-costly territory and lower taxes, much of the expansion in the urbane region is taking place outside of the town/city of Albuquerque itself. In Rio Rancho to the northwest, the communities east of the mountain peaks, and the incorporated parts of Valencia County, populace growth rates approach twice that of Albuquerque. The mountain suburbs of Tijeras, Edgewood, and Moriarty, while close enough to Albuquerque to be considered suburbs, have experienced much less expansion compared to Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, Los Lunas, and Belen.

Aerial view of the Rio Grande flowing through Albuquerque, looking south from just west of Albuquerque International Sunport, December 2016. Albuquerque lies in the Albuquerque Basin, a portion of the Rio Grande rift. The Sandia Mountains are the dominant geographic feature visible in Albuquerque. However, Robert Julyan notes in The Place Names of New Mexico, "the most likely explanation is the one believed by the Sandia Pueblo Indians: the Spaniards, when they encountered the Pueblo in 1540, called it Sandia, because they thought the squash burgeoning there were watermelons, and the name Sandia soon was transferred to the mountain peaks east of the pueblo." He also notes that the Sandia Pueblo Indians call the mountain Bien Mur, "big mountain." This bajada is quite substantial when driving into Albuquerque from the north or south, due to its fairly uniform slope from the mountain peaks' edge downhill to the valley. It is the only part of Albuquerque where the water table often lies close to the surface, sometimes less than 10 feet (3.0 m). The last momentous area of Albuquerque geologically is the West Mesa: this is the elevated territory west of the Rio Grande, including "West Bluff", the sandy terrace immediately west and above the river, and the rather sharply defined volcanic escarpment above and west of most of the advanced city.
