| | | 1. Pueblo of Santa Ana Marker | | |
Inscription. The Keres-speaking pueblo of Santa Ana was established on its present site in 1693, as part of Diego de Vargas' reconquest of New Mexico. The spot, exposed to flooding, was poorly suited for farming, and today the residents live on their farms along the Río Grande instead of the pueblo, which is used as a ceremonial site.
Erected by New Mexico Historic Preservation Division and Department of Highways.
