This and Chamisal. is what leads some historians to believe Pulvidero may be a corruption of the Piro name One early mention of Polvadera occurred of the pueblo. shortly after the Americans entered Santa Fe, in 1846. Surveyor Lt. William Emory wrote in his diary: “Arrived at the town of Pulvidera, which we found, as its name implies, covered with dust.” Lt. Emory was correct. Polvadera is a rendition of the Spanish word polvoriento or pulverdero meaning “dusty” or “pulverized dirt.” It is believed the name Polvadera may also be based on the name of an old Piro Indian pueblo in the area of a similar-sounding name. The actual name and spelling of the town has changed over the years. When resettled in the early 1800s, it was called “Plaza de Pulvidera.” In the 1845 Mexican census, after the San Lorenzo Photo by Paul Harden Land Grant had been approved, the name The picturesque San Lorenzo canyon was once part of changed to “San Lorenzo de Pulvidero.” For the Antonio Chavez’ San Lorenzo Land Grant, and later the first U.S. census in 1850, it was listed as Padilla ranch. “Pulvidera,” “La Polvedera de San Lorenzo” in 1860, and then “Pulvedero” by the 1870 census. A similar situation arose south of Socorro in When the railroad arrived in 1881, they spelled it forming the “Hacienda de Luis Lopez.” This “Polvadera,” the form used today. estancia was named after Don Luis Lopez, the However, Polvadera is much older than 1846. alcalde mayor of nearby Senecu pueblo and mission in the 1660s.

San Lorenzo Land Grant In February 1825, Antonio Chavez made petition for a land grant to New Mexico Gov. Bartolome Baca as follows: “I, Antonio Chavez ... apply to the superior wisdom of your excellency, that you may assign to me the tract called the Arroyo de San Lorenzo whose description and boundaries are: on the south the ranche of Pablo Garcia (near Polvadera); on the north the little table mesita of Alamillo (San Acacia Butte); on the west the Jara Spring (head of San Lorenzo canyon); and on the east the river known as the Photo by Paul Harden James and Cecillia McCord have masterfully restored Rio del Norte (Rio Grande).” several of Polvadera’s old adobe territorial buildings. Gov. Baca noted that all the land along the west This used to be the Clemente Chaves store. side of the Rio Grande in this region was contained in either the Socorro or Sevilleta land grants. He remaining land owners petitioned the U.S. modified Chavez’ application to limit the land Surveyor General for legal rights to the land grant grant to within 1 mile of the river except for a small under the Treaty of Hidalgo. This turned into 25 tract of land along the San Lorenzo arroyo. This years of legal bickering. would grant Chavez some access to the river and Land grants require a continuous succession of for building an acequia. Chavez agreed to the family ownership. Since the Chavez’ no longer modification and the “Arroyo de San Lorenzo” owned the land, the squable went all the way to the land grant was awarded in late 1825, and U.S. Supreme Court. In 1898, they rejected the consisted of 130,138 acres. validity of the grant. Antonio Chavez and his family worked their The San Lorenzo Land Grant, upon which land “about 10 miles north of Socorro.” After Polvadera and Chamisal are built, came to an end Antonio died, his wife and children continued in 1898. Upon 1912 Statehood, the private land living on the land until they sold it around 1850 to ownership of the residences was honored; the rest Ramon Luna, Rafael Luna and Anastacio Garcia, of the grant became state land. Years later, all pioneer families in Polvadera. ownership of San Lorenzo Canyon, owned by the Rafael Luna died around 1870. In 1874, the two Padilla family, was transferred to the Bureau of Land Management and land along the river given to the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District. To this day, many of the pioneer families in Polvadera believe some of their land was stolen from them. And, they might be right. It was later determined that Surveyor General Julius had misinterpreted the Mexican land grant laws, on which rejection of the San Lorenzo and other grants were based. But, it was too late. This complicated ordeal does explain why the name San Lorenzo is so common to the Polvadera area and the famous canyon to the west.

  • The Piro and Bosque Del Apache Jan 7-8, 2017
    The Piro and Bosque del Apache Jan 7-8, 2017 The 230,000-acre National Wildlife Refuge of the Bosque del Apache is best known these days as one of the most important migratory stops in all of the Americas. Sandhill cranes and snow geese flock by the thousands to the area every winter. We’ll take advantage of this with our own viewings and expert interpretation during the trip. This area was home to the Piros, who once lived in the Rio Grande Valley north and south of Socorro and in adjacent parts of the Salinas Basin. Dr. Michael Bletzer, a renowned expert on the Piro, will guide us through the most important sites and talk about whom the Piro were, where they went and why. He will also offer answers to other similar big questions. When the Spanish first entered New Mexico, the Piros formed one of the largest Puebloan groups. In the mid-to-late 1620s, they were visited by Franciscan missionaries and “converted and saved.” We will visit some of the recently excavated pueblos where Michael has been working. The Piros lived in a number of pueblos along the Rio Grande and the southern periphery of the Salinas Basin. “Socorro” means aid or help, and was a name given to two Piro pueblos by the Spaniards. The Piros were visited by Coronado’s expedition in 1540/41, by Chamuscado in 1581/82, by Espejo in 1582/83, and by Oñate in 1598. Missionary work began in earnest in the mid-1620s under the auspices of fray Alonso de Benavides.

Sixty years later, the Piro pueblos lay in ruins, the last of them abandoned in the wake of the Pueblo Revolt. Today the Piros and their place in New Mexican history are often overlooked. Drawing on current documentary and archaeological research, this essay offers a broad outline of developments in the Piro “province” during the critical years from 1600 to 1680. Like most, if not all, Native groups in what later Spanish explorers would call the “Kingdom of New Mexico,” the Piros undoubtedly had their share Michael Bletzer is an archaeologist with Four Corners Research and research associate with Jornada Research Institute.
