In 1880, the Santa Fe Railroad pulled into what then was a small town and the city quickly took shape. It was the destination of cattle drivers from as far away as Texas. Today, Albuquerque is home to 500,000 people but the cultural heart of the city is still Old Town and the Plaza, where the first Spanish mission was established. The human history of the area is much older than the Spanish conquests. Several pueblos are found in the area, most to the north of town, and the Pueblo Indian culture has been a continuing influence on life in the Rio Grande Valley, as well as providing destinations for tourists.
