Capitan Hernan Alvarado and his conquistadors from the famous Francisco Vasquez de Coronado Expedition arrived here on August 29, 1540. It is estimated that the Tiwa Indians settled in this valley around 1350 A.D. The name Taos is believed to be an adaptation of the Tewa Indian word Towih, meaning red willows. It is first recorded in history by Juan Belarde, secretary to Don Juan de O?ate in 1598. Taos was first colonized by Spain in 1615.
