About La Bajada, New Mexico
La Bajada is a small community in Santa Fe County, and the 2020 census counted 26 people living here. Its name is Spanish for "the descent," and the settlement took it from a landform in the Caja del Rio nearby. In Spanish colonial times it served the church at Pena Blanca, and travelers later stopped here for the night on their way to Santa Fe.
“In Spanish Colonial days La Bajada was a visita of Pena Blanca and later a stage station and overnight stopping place on the road to Santa Fe.”
- Beside an old Tano puebloThe settlement lies next to the site of Tsenatay, a pueblo built long ago by the Tano people.
- A post office, 1870 to 1872The community got a post office under the name La Bajada in 1870. It stayed open for only two years and closed in 1872.
