History

Boca Negra, the “black mouth,” is considered the birthplace of Petroglyph National Monument. Through the efforts of private citizen groups in the 1960s, this area became Indian Petroglyph State Park, which later became the focal point for the establishment of today’s national monument. The National Park Service, the City of Albuquerque, and the State of New Mexico are mandated to protect and preserve these images for future generations.
