1643-1704

— Resettled New Mexico Twelve Years after Pueblo Revolt of 1680 —

Don Diego de Vargas Zapata Luj?n Ponce de Le?n, born 1643 in Madrid, Spain, served the crown as Governor of New Mexico from 1691-1697 and 1703-1704. Vargas was a devout Christian with a strong devotion to Nuestra Se?ora La Conquistadora, Our Lady of Peace. Recognized for his competency and talent as a royal official, his arrival in February 1691 at El Paso del Norte as Governor marked the beginning of the critical episode in New Mexico restoration, resulting in a remarkable reconciliation with Pueblo Indian leaders such as Luis Tupat?, Domingo Tuguaque, Juan de Ye and Bartolom? de Ojeda. Together these men forged a lasting peace that has endured for more than three hundred years. Vargas? accomplishments in New Mexico will long be remembered by all generations that follow.
