From Metapedia
New Mexico is a state in the southwestern United States. It has a southern border with Mexico, an eastern border with Texas and Oklahoma, and a western border with Arizona. The 37th parallel forms the northern boundary with Colorado. The spot where New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah come together is called the Four Corners.
New Mexico is centered on the Rio Grande valley, the historical center of Spanish settlement and conquest of the Pueblo, Native American tribes who lived in small towns along the Rio Grande and nearby as at Acoma. Major cities in the Rio Grande valley include Taos; Santa Fe, the capital; Albuquerque, the largest city; Las Cruces; El Paso, Texas; and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. On January 6, 1912 New Mexico became the 47th state of the United States.
