==History== The first contact with Spaniards occurred in 1539 in the ancient village of [[Hawikuh Ruins|Hawikku]] when [[Esteban the Moor|Esteban]], an [[Arabized Berber|Arab/Berber]] of Moroccan origin, entered Zuni territory seeking the fabled "[[Seven Cities of Cibola]]" and when [[Marco da Nizza]], an Italian [[franciscan]], reached Zuni Pueblo and called it ''Cibola''.<ref>{{Cite book|title = A Zuni Atlas|last = Ferguson's|first = T.J.|publisher = University of Oklahoma Press|year = 1985|location = Norman, OK}}</ref> ===Halona Pueblo=== {{infobox NRHP | name = Halona Pueblo | nrhp_type = | image = | caption = | nearest_city= [[Gallup, New Mexico]] | coordinates = {{coord|35|04|04|N|108|49|37|W|source:NOTNRIS2013a|display=inline}} |locmapin=New Mexico | built = 1539 | added = February 10, 1975 | area = {{convert|1500|acre|km2}} | refnum = 75002066<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|version=2013a}}</ref> }} The '''Halona Pueblo''', also known as '''Zuni Pueblo''', is located 36 miles south of [[Gallup, New Mexico]] on NM 32 & NM 53. The [[pueblo]] dates from before 1539, which was when Europeans first visited New Mexico. It was one of the original six pueblos of the [[Zuni people]]. The [[Fray Marcos de Niza]] expedition, led by [[Estevan the Moor]], arrived to the area in 1539; most of its party were killed by the Zunis. [[Francisco Vásquez de Coronado|Coronado]]'s expedition a year later was disappointed not to find great wealth. It was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1975.<ref name=nris/> The Old Zuni Mission, or Nuestra Senora de la Candelaria (Our Lady of the Light), on Old Mission Dr. at {{coord|35.067782|N|108.849641|W|name=Old Zuni Mission}} is the building depicted in one photo with NRHP nomination. [[Hawikuh Ruins]] is a National Historic Landmark 12 miles away. [[Zuni-Cibola Complex]], a National Historic Landmark District, was proposed as a National Park.<ref name="nrhpdoc">{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=75002066}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Zuni Pueblo / Halona Pueblo |publisher=[[National Park Service]]|author=Michael McCachren |date=November 20, 1974 |accessdate=July 1, 2019}} With {{NRHP url|id=75002066|photos=y|title=accompanying photo from 1973}}</ref>
