History

Mining activity in the area, including the apocryphal Governor's mine (NM Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, RM-21), probably began around that time, and continued until the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. The population was 1,864 at the 2000 United States Census census. After the Pueblo Revolt, Spanish occupation was slow to return to the Questa area due to repeated clashes with Taos Pueblo and Ute warriors; although reports of trading and military activity in the area, especially by French, French-Canadian, and even English fur traders, the actual date of establishment of a permanent settlement in the area is recorded as 1820 (Rael and Cuddihy, 2003). Located on the northwest side of the beautiful Enchanted Circle highway, near the confluence of the Rio Grande and the Red River, Questa is the least tourist-oriented town on the route. Later, a US postmaster changed its name to Questa.
