Eldorado at Santa Fe’s history is mostly unwritten
The public archives hold no old photos of Eldorado at Santa Fe yet. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.
Eldorado lies entirely within the Canada de los Alamos Grant, a Spanish land grant which dates back to 1785. In 1883, the entire grant was sold for US$2,000. As recorded in 1894, and patented by the US government, the size of the grant was about 12,068 acres (49 km2).
