Flowers PhotoAbout New Mexico
New Mexico is a state of about 1.8 million spread out across a state measuring 121,598 square miles. The fifth-largest state by landmass, New Mexico's population is a diverse blend of predominately Hispanic, Anglo, and Native American populations and cultures, with a healthy integration of many other races and communities as well. Taken as a whole, Native Americans occupy four major reservations and nineteen Pueblo communities throughout the state, while close to thirty percent of the state's total population resides in its largest city, Albuquerque, and its capital city, Santa Fe.
