Prehistoric dwelling to the 21st century - all in a 12 block walk. First inhabited by the ancestors of Northern New Mexico’s Pueblo Indians, Los Alamos is located on the Pajarito Plateau of the Jemez Mountains, formed by the eruption of a giant volcano 1.4 mil- lion years ago. Prehistoric Pueblo ancesters and later Hispanic homesteaders used the plateau for seasonal farming and grazing. In 1917, H.H. Brook’s Alamos* ranch was purchased by Ashley Pond to start Los Alamos Ranch School, a boys’ school which combined academics and a challenging physical curriculum. While World War II was raging, the Army Corps of Engineers took over the mesa and sealed it for a secret, crash mission to end the war.
