History
1
The pueblo-mission of San Miguel de Tajique was established in the 1620s. In the 1670s, famine, disease, and Apache raids caused the abandonment of the Jurisdiccion de las Salinas, which lasted from 1598 to 1678 and included Tajique. Modern occupation of Tajique began in the 1830s with a land grant made to Manuel Sanchez.
