Fun Facts about Santa FeSanta Fe is the highest state capital in the United States - sitting at 7,000 ft. above sea level. Founded in 1608, Santa Fe is America's oldest state capital. Only two older surviving cities, both in Florida, exist. Santa Fe's full name is "La Villa real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco De Asis" which translates to "The Royal City of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi." The Palace of Governors, built in 1610, is America's oldest continuously occupied public building. It is considered a national treasure! Smokey the Bear was invented in New Mexico after the Captan Gap Fire of 1950. |
