History

In 1540 and 1541, Spanish accounts portrayed the Rio Grande River, called the Nuestra Señora river, as flowing through a broad, level valley planted with fields of maize, with some cottonwood groves and twelve pueblos. They said the river was almost as wide as the river at Seville though not as deep, that its water was good, that it contained some fish, that it rose in the north, and that in winter it froze thick enough for loaded animals and even carts to cross.
