Located in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains; Santa Fe was founded in 1608 by Spanish colonists and Franciscan missionaries who were searching for gold; arable land; and Indians to convert to Christianity. In the 400 years since; this mountain community has been the hub of Spanish colonialism in the New World; the terminus of the historic Santa Fe Trail; and since 1912; the state capital of New Mexico. It is Americas third-oldest continuously inhabited; European-built community; surpassed in age only by St. Augustine; Florida; and Jamestown; Virginia. It is also the birthplace of Santa Fe style; a term used to describe the unique amalgamation of Indian; Spanish; and Anglo cultures that has strongly influenced the world of architecture and fashion since the 1960s and made the city one of Americas most popular and recognizable tourist destinations.
