Historic Geography
Geographically, Abiquiú is located 18 miles northwest of Española on US Highway 84, "on a terraced, rocky mesa (elevation 6,060 feet) overlooking the Rio Chama, approximately 20 miles upstream from the confluence of the Rio Chama and the Rio Grande." [Alvar W. Carlson, The Spanish-American Homelalnd: Four Centuries in New Mexico's Rio Arriba, p.160-162.]
The town of Abiquiu Grant was given in 1754 to the Spaniards and genizaros jointly and is one of the last Spanish-American community grants still functioning and owned by the residents.
