History

Tesuque, a small Tewa-speaking pueblo whose name is a Spanish variation of the Tewa name Tetsugeh, meaning "narrow place of cotton wood trees," was established before 1200 and was first visited by Europeans in 1591. It is one of the most traditional of the Tewa-speaking pueblos and played an important role in the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, which drove the Spanish from New Mexico.
