Everything about The Aztec Ruins National Monument totally explained
The
Aztec Ruins National Monument preserves ancestral
Pueblo structures in north-western
New Mexico,
United States, located close to the town of
Aztec and northeast of
Farmington, near the
Animas River.
Salmon Ruins and Heritage Park, with more ancestral Pueblo structures, lies a short distance to the south, just west of
Bloomfield and near the San Juan River.
The buildings date back to the 11th to 13th centuries, and the misnomer attributing them to the
Aztec civilization can be traced back to early American settlers in the mid-19th century.
The site was declared "Aztec Ruin
National Monument" on
January 24,
1923, and with a boundary change it was renamed "Ruins" on
July 2,
1928. As an historical property of the
National Park Service the National Monument was administratively listed on the
National Register of Historic Places on
October 15,
1966. Aztec Ruins was added to the
UNESCO list of
World Heritage Sites, as part of the
Chaco Culture National Historical Park, on
December 8,
1987.
