New Mexico Business- Up And Down The Rio Grande
By Howard Giske-6947
The population of New Mexico, which is almost 2 million, is concentrated in the Rio Grande Corridor, which is a rift valley that cuts the state in two from the North to the South. Down the rift travels the nation's second longest river, the Rio Grande. Around this valley are the major cities of the state. Albuquerque is the largest, with 800,000 people in its metropolitan area. Santa Fe, 7,000 feet above sea level, is the capital, and is the third largest city. La Cruces, in the south central area is near the agricultural area of Mesilla Valley, also the home of much chile pepper production. It is home to the New State University, and is the second largest city in the state with 82,000 people. Taos in the northern part of the state is known for its artist colony and Indian artifacts and crafts production. Taos also has a white-river recreational area nearby and fishing, plus skiing in the wintertime. There’s plenty more places for your New Incorporation.
New has a fascinating history of advanced Indian cultures responsible for cliff dwellings and multi storied stone buildings from the 13th century.

Robert Goddard, later known as the father of rocketry, set up shop in New for his experiment in the 1930s, which were attacked and ridiculed until they were shown to be critical breakthroughs. In recent history, New was the site of the World War II Manhattan Project - the crash project to develop nuclear weapons.
