About Placitas, Sandoval County, New Mexico
Placitas is a community of 5,041 people in Sandoval County, part of the Albuquerque metropolitan area. Spanish settlers were already living here by 1767, when Governor Pedro Fermín created a land grant called San Antonio de las Huertas. Under that grant, 21 families received land, and together they built San Jose de las Huertas, a settlement close to the site of present-day Placitas.
Around 1768, nomadic Native Americans raided the young village. Settlers kept working the land, and in the 1830s the place known as Las Placitas was settled. Families descended from the grant's first farmers and stockmen still live in the area.
- Named for its little villagesThe area came to be called Las Placitas because of the many small villages scattered across it. The name was later shortened to Placitas.
- A church founded in 1894Las Placitas Presbyterian Church was founded on February 24, 1894, when the settlement still went by its longer name, Las Placitas.
- Sun Farm and the communesIn the 1960s and 1970s, many hippie settlements grew up near Placitas. They included Tawapa, Dome Valley, Little Farm, Lower Farm and Sun Farm. Most of them faded away, and Sun Farm is the only one that survives.
