History: Prior to Spanish conquest Mora valley was the home of nomadic Indian tribes such as the Utes, Navajos, and the Apache. Mora valley soon became a travel way for Spanish explorers and merchants; the first recorded settlement is from 1817. Between 1837 and 1847 the area was the subject of various failed revolts by settlers who were dismayed with their Mexican rulers. Mora County was established in 1860 from parts of Taos and San Miguel County.
