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 FeSource: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
アメリカ合衆国ニューメキシコ州北部の州都。人口5万6000(1990)。北緯36゜に位置するが,標高2100m(合衆国の州都中もっとも高い)の高原にあり,乾燥しているため夏は快適である。1610年,スペイン人がニューメキシコ植民地の拠点として建設,伝道,交易の中心地となった。地名はスペイン語で〈神聖なる信仰〉を意味する。1821年以降サンタ・フェ街道を利用してのアメリカ商人との交易が栄え,48年には米墨戦争の結果アメリカ領となり,80年にはサンタ・フェ鉄道がここまで延長された。
