Annual events 11 Unlike many communities in New Mexico whose history spans centu- ries, Rio Rancho’s spans just mere decades. Beginning with the purchase of a 55,000-acre ranch northwest of Albuquerque in the 1960s, AMREP rio rancho restaurant map 12 Southwest laid the foundation for what would become “The City of Vi- sion,” culminating with a city that incorporated in 1981. By comparison, Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, was founded in 1680. accommodations 14 In 1980, the Intel Corporation chose Rio Rancho to build one of its main fabrication facilities. Not being burdened by history, tradition or custom, explore the land 17 Rio Rancho welcomed this high-tech giant, and the huge industrial complex that Intel built, and continually renovated over the years, which pro- duces and exports their cutting-edge products to this day. Amenities, Attractions, & destinations 20 Rio Rancho has always had its focus on the future, as evidenced by the meals on the go/groups 23 bold creation in 2006 of a new City Center on what was just a desolate mesa in the geographic heart of the city. Anchored by a modern Rio Ran- cho City Hall and the state-of-the-art Santa Ana Star Center, this for- ward-looking development has welcomed the likes of Hewlett-Packard, Central New Mexico Community College, UNM West and the UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center.
