Quora sent me a link to a Q & A on the state of New Mexico which I found interesting.
It is "20 Interesting Things About New Mexico" by Rick Cormier, author of "American Baapu: India Through My Eyes".
Here's the first five:
1.) Santa Fe has more artists per capita than any other American city.
2.) New Mexico is the state with the most PhD.s per capita. Los Alamos, NM has more PhDs than any American city. Santa Fe, NM ranks #2.
3.) New Mexico is the 5th largest state in the U.S., but only has about 2 million people. This works out to 17 people per square mile. At first, this reminded me of Maine... big state with only 1.3 million people... until I did some research and discovered that Maine has 43 people per square mile! ...Big difference!
4.) More than 1/4 of the total population of New Mexico lives in Albuquerque.
5.) New Mexico was NOT named after Mexico. Spaniards named New Mexico after the Mexica (Aztec) Empire in 1563 because they hoped the Indians there would have the same riches as the Aztecs did. At the time, Mexico was called "New Spain." In 1821 (two and a half centuries later) it was named Mexico.
