Managed by the National Park Service, this expansive park covers a diverse landscape that includes archaeological ruins, historic ranches, and a significant Civil War battlefield.

The park’s primary unit is situated approximately 17 miles east of Santa Fe, near the town of Pecos. It is here that the ruins of Pecos Pueblo, historically referred to as Cicuye, reveal the remnants of a once-thriving village. Archaeological evidence suggests that the initial settlement dates back to around AD 1100, during the Pueblo II Era, eventually evolving into a substantial community housing over 2,000 individuals by the Pueblo IV Era.
The inhabitants of Cicuye/Pecos Pueblo were speakers of the Towa language and were known for their intricate architecture, artistic crafts, and complex religious practices. The pueblo was a major trade hub, facilitating exchanges between the بويبلوان peoples and the Plains cultures, such as the Comanche. However, by 1838, the last residents of Pecos Pueblo relocated to Jemez Pueblo, marking the end of an era for this historic site.

Another significant aspect of the park is the remains of Mission Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Porciúncula de los Pecos, established in the early 17th century. This Spanish mission, located near the pueblo, underscores the interactions between the الأم الأمريكية inhabitants and the Spanish colonizers. The mission’s history is marked by periods of conflict and cooperation, notably during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and the subsequent re-establishment of Spanish presence in 1692.

تضم الحديقة أيضًا Forked Lightning Ranch، وهي شهادة على تاريخ المنطقة في القرن العشرين. تأسست في البداية كمزرعة للماشية في عشرينيات القرن الماضي، ثم تحولت لاحقًا إلى مزرعة للرجال قبل أن تصبح جزءًا من الحديقة الوطنية. يوضح هذا الموقع المشهد الاقتصادي والاجتماعي المتطور لدولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة نيو مكسيكو.
مسار سانتا في القديم وساحة معركة جلوريتا باس
The historic Santa Fe Trail, a crucial route for 19th-century expansion into the جنوب غرب أمريكا, runs through the park. The Battle of Glorieta Pass, a pivotal Civil War engagement, took place along this trail, further highlighting the strategic importance of the area.
التاريخ الإداري والمناخ
Originally preserved as a state monument in 1935, the site was designated as Pecos National Monument in 1965 and later expanded and renamed Pecos National Historical Park in 1990. The park’s climate, classified as oceanic according to the Köppen Climate Classification system, has witnessed extreme temperatures, reflecting the environmental challenges faced by its historical inhabitants.
