New Mexico on the record
New Mexico is a landlocked state in the Southwestern region of the United States. It is one of the Mountain States of the southern Rocky Mountains, sharing the Four Corners region with Utah, Colorado, and Arizona. It also borders the state of Texas to the east and southeast, Oklahoma to the northeast, and shares an international border with the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora to the south. New Mexico's largest city is Albuquerque, and its state capital is Santa Fe, the oldest state capital in the U.S.—founded in 1610 as the government seat of Nuevo México in New Spain—and the highest in elevation, at 7,000 feet (2,134 m). New Mexico is the fifth-largest of the fifty states by area, but with just over 2.1 million residents, ranks 36th in population and 45th in population density. Its climate and geography are highly varied, ranging from forested mountains to sparse deserts; the northern and eastern regions exhibit a colder alpine climate, while the west and south are warmer and more arid. The Rio Grande and its fertile valley runs north-to-south, creating a riparian biome through the center of the state that supports a bosque habitat and distinct Albuquerque Basin climate. One-third of New Mexico's land is federally owned, including many protected wilderness areas, 15 national parks and monuments, and three UNESCO World Heritage Sites wholly contained within the state—the most of any U.S. state. Since time immemorial, New Mexico was home to Pueblo peoples, the Mogollon culture, and Ute. The Pueblo peoples occupied several dozen villages, mostly in northern New Mexico's Rio Grande valley. The Navajo and Apache arrived in the late 1400s, the Spanish in 1598, and the Comanche in the early 1700s. The Spanish colony of Nuevo México became a peripheral part of the viceroyalty of New Spain. The 1680 Pueblo Revolt was the first successful revolution against colonial rule in the Americas. In 1692 Spanish colonial rule returned, but the colony fell under the influence of Comancheria with the Comanche-Spanish peace treaties of 1785 and 1786, isolated by its rugged terrain and distance from Mexico City.
Summarised from the lead section of the Wikipedia article New Mexico (CC BY-SA 4.0). Nothing here was written for this page beyond that article; the admission date itself comes from CRS R47747, not Wikipedia.
Wikidata P571 also lists 1850-09-09, 1598-07 for Q1522. Those extra inception values are not used. This page maps the CRS Table 1 date 1912-01-06.
