New Mexico is officially nicknamed “The Land of Enchantment” for its scenic beauty, rich multicultural history, and various art forms. New Mexico achieved statehood on January 6, 19912 and became the 47th state of the Union. Santa Fe, New Mexico is the oldest capital in the US. It was established in 1610 by the Spanish.
The federal government has an important role in the state’s economy, land use, and social context. It is the biggest employer. More than one third of the land in the State is protected by the federal government. The federal government maintains military and research institutions such as the three Air Force bases, the White Sands Missile Range and federal research facilities at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories. The state’s economy relays on natural resources, tourism, retail trade and federal government. Much of the state’s revenues comes from oil and gas. New Mexico attracts more than 30 million tourist every year due to our Annual International Balloon Fiesta, national parks, and beautiful scenery!
