Francisco Vásquez de Coronado, a Spanish explorer searching for gold, traveled
the region that became New Mexico in 1540–1542. In 1598 the first Spanish
settlement was established on the Rio Grande River by Juan de Onate; in 1610 Santa
Fe was founded and made the capital of New Mexico. The U.S. acquired most of New Mexico in 1848, as a result of the Mexican War, and the remainder in the 1853 Gadsden Purchase. Union troops captured the territory from the Confederates during the Civil War. With the surrender of Geronimo in 1886, the Apache Wars and most of the Indian conflicts in the area were ended.
