Belen on the Camino Real
"By the mid 18th century, Spanish colonization had begun along the Rio Grande south of Albuquerque. The Belen land grant was made to encourage this expansion, and colonists from Albuquerque settled here around 1740. The early community also included a group of genizaros or Hispanicized Indians. Belen is Spanish for Bethlehem."
