Santa Fe is the highest capital city in the United States at 7,000 feet
above sea level. The province that was once Spanish New Mexico included all
of present day New Mexico, most of Colorado and Arizona, and slices of Utah,
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming. The Original American Territory of New
Mexico that congress created in 1850 included all of New Mexico and Arizona
plus parts of Colorado, Nevada, and Utah. The boundaries of present day New
Mexico were drawn by congress in 1863 but New Mexico didn't become a state
until 1912. Each October Albuquerque hosts the world's largest international
hot air balloon fiesta. Las Cruces makes the world's largest enchilada the
first weekend in October at the "Whole Enchilada Fiesta". Lakes and Rivers
make up only .002% of the state's total surface area. The lowest
water-to-land ratio of all 50 states. Most of New Mexico's lakes are
man-made reservoirs. A dam on the Rio Grande formed the Elephant Butte
Reservoir the state's largest lake., Biographies Bruce Cabot actor,
