Pueblo refers to the settlements and to the Native American tribes of the Pueblo peoples in the Southwestern United States, currently in New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. The permanent communities, including some of the oldest continually occupied settlements in the United States, are called pueblos (lowercased).
Spanish explorers of northern New Spain used the term pueblo to refer to permanent Indigenous towns they found in the region, mainly in New Mexico and parts of Arizona, in the former province of Nuevo México. This term continued to be used to describe the communities housed in apartment structures built of stone, adobe, and other local material.[2] The structures were usually multi-storied buildings surrounding an open plaza, with rooms accessible only through ladders raised and lowered by the inhabitants, thus protecting them from break-ins and unwanted guests. Larger pueblos were occupied by hundreds to thousands of Puebloan people.
Several federally recognized tribes have traditionally resided in pueblos of such design. Later Pueblo Deco and modern Pueblo Revival architecture, which mixes elements of traditional Pueblo and Hispano design, has continued to be a popular architectural style in New Mexico.
The term is now part of the proper name of some historical sites, such as Pueblo of Acoma.

One teaching simply refers to "pueblo" as a type of adobe house or dwelling place.[citation needed]
The word pueblo is the Spanish word both for "town" or "village" and for "people". It comes from the Latin root word populus meaning "people". Spanish colonials applied the term to their own civic settlements, but to only those Native American settlements having fixed locations and permanent buildings. Less-permanent native settlements (such as those found in California) were often referred to as rancherías.
On the central Spanish Meseta the unit of settlement was and is the pueblo; which is to say, the large nucleated village surrounded by its own fields, with no outlying farms, separated from its neighbors by some considerable distance, sometimes as much as ten miles [16 km] or so. The demands of agrarian routine and the need for defense, the simple desire for human society in the vast solitude of, dictated that it should be so. Nowadays the pueblo might have a population running into thousands. Doubtless, they were much smaller in the early middle ages, but we should probably not be far wrong if we think of them as having had populations of some hundreds.[3]
Pueblo tribes
Of the federally recognized Native American communities in the Southwest, those designated by the King of Spain as pueblo at the time Spain ceded territory to the United States, after the American Revolutionary War, are legally recognized as Pueblo by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Some of the pueblos also came under the jurisdiction of the United States, in its view, by its treaty with Mexico, which had briefly gained rule over territory in the Southwest ceded by Spain after Mexican independence. There are 21 federally recognized Pueblos[4] that are home to Pueblo peoples. Their official federal names are as follows:
- Hopi Tribe of Arizona (Uto-Aztecan)
- Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico (Keresan)
- Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico (Keresan)
- Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of Laguna, New Mexico (Keresan)
- Pueblo of Nambe, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of Picuris, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of San Felipe, New Mexico (Keresan)
- Pueblo of San Ildefonso, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of Sandia, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico (Keresan)
- Pueblo of Santa Clara, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of Taos, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Pueblo of Zia, New Mexico (Keresan)
- Santo Domingo Pueblo (also Kewa Pueblo), New Mexico (Keresan)
- Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo, Texas (Kiowa-Tanoan)
- Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico (Zuni)[5]
Historical places
Pre-Columbian towns and villages in the Southwest, such as Acoma, were located in defensible positions, for example, on high steep mesas. Anthropologists and official documents often refer to ancient residents of the area as pueblo cultures. For example, the National Park Service states, "The Late Puebloan cultures built the large, integrated villages found by the Spaniards when they began to move into the area."[6] The people of some pueblos, such as Taos Pueblo, still inhabit centuries-old adobe pueblo buildings.[7]
Contemporary residents often maintain other homes outside the historic pueblos.[7] Adobe and light construction methods resembling adobe now dominate architecture at the many pueblos of the area, in nearby towns or cities, and in much of the American Southwest.[8]
In addition to contemporary pueblos, numerous ruins of archeological interest are located throughout the Southwest. Some are of relatively recent origin. Others are of prehistoric origin, such as the cliff dwellings and other habitations of the Ancient Pueblo peoples, who emerged as a people around the 12th century BCE and began to construct their pueblos about 750–900 CE.[9][10]
