The first Spanish settlers arrived in 1610, naming the town '''La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís'''. The town was surrounded by other towns, like the town of Española, and even including several [[Pueblo]]s such as the San Ildefonso Pueblo and the Nambé Pueblo. Don Juan de Oñate first started the colony in 1598, but the second governor of New Mexico Don Pedro de Peralta moved the colony to the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in 1607, the colony became a town in 1610.<ref>http://www.desertusa.com/Cities/nm/santafe.html</ref><ref>http://www.thesantafesite.com/history.html</ref>
