Definition

  • Pueblo is the term given by the 16th-century Spanish explorers for the multistoried, terraced structures of stone or adobe they encountered in what is now northern New Mexico and Arizona. These tall, apartment-like structures housed communities of agriculturalists who farmed the lands surrounding their village. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Housing; Pueblos]
