Paraje de Robledo was named for Pedro Robledo, a member of the Juan de Oñate expedition, who was buried nearby on May 21, 1598. This paraje, or resting place, was a welcome sight for caravans entering or exiting the dreaded Jornada del Muerto, a part of the trail with limited water. Its strategic location along the Camino Real made it an ideal site for the establishment of Fort Selden in 1865.
