The Bernalillo Historic Marker sits next to Hwy 313 between Camino Del Bosque and Denny Rd.

"Archaeological research indicates that this fertile valley has been the focus of human occupation for at least 10,000 years. Soon after the Spanish colonized New Mexico in 1598, a series of estancias, or farming and ranching communities, flanked the Camino Real along this section of the Rio Grande. These settlements formed the basis of present day Bernalillo, which was well established by the close of the 17th century."
