The ancient Pueplo people chose this site well for their village. It was a green oasis in an arid land with a year-round source of water where they were able to grow corn, squash, and beans (hence the name). It also provided, and continues to provide, beauty and inspiration.

In the 16th century, the Spanish in Mexico heard rumors of 7 cities of gold in the north, leading Coronado on his expedition of exploration. They didn't find the precious metal and missed something even more wondrous, the richness of Puebloan culture.
