Santa Fe

Japanese: サンタ・フェ(英語表記)Santa Fe
Santa Fe
The capital of northern New Mexico in the United States. Population 56,000 (1990). Located at 36 degrees north latitude, it is on a plateau at an altitude of 2,100 meters (the highest of any state capital in the United States), and the dry climate makes it comfortable in the summer. Founded by the Spanish in 1610 as the base for the New Mexico colony, it became a center of missionary and trade. The name of the city means "sacred faith" in Spanish. Trade with American merchants flourished from 1821 onwards, and as a result of the Mexican-American War in 1848, it became a US territory, and in 1880 the Santa Fe Railroad was extended to this point.

Santa Fe

The capital of the province of the same name in central Argentina. Population 342,796 (1991). Facing the Paraná River, it is a distribution center and shipping port for agricultural products from the Pampas. It is connected to the city of Paraná on the opposite bank by a tunnel. In addition to food processing, it has textile and automobile manufacturing industries. It was founded in 1573 by Juan de Garay, who came from Asuncion, Paraguay, but moved to its current location in 1650 to avoid attacks by natives. In 1662 it became an official port under Spanish colonial rule, and as a major port on the Paraná River, it became bustling with trade with matechas.
