Huning Castle
Huning Castle
Huning Castle refers to a home that was demolished in 1955, a real estate subdivision and a contemporary Albuquerque neighborhood.
Albuquerque's Huning Castle Neighborhood by Publication Date: 2013Huning's 700-acre estate, home to the once-legendary but now-demolished Castle Huning, fronted Albuquerque's main thoroughfare midway between Old Town and the bustling new downtown one mile east. It was a front-row seat to the city's development after the flood-prone Rio Grande was stabilized. Huning's former estate is now home to fine, diverse homes near the Albuquerque Country Club, as well as historic Route 66, Tingley Beach, the zoo, the Little Theatre, and a Christmas Eve luminaria tradition.
Forgotten Albuquerque by ISBN: 0738559679Publication Date: 2009-01-21In 1706, Spanish colonists founded the Villa de Alburquerque on the wooded banks of the Rio Grande. Three hundred years later, that once quiet farming community has grown to become Albuquerque, the largest city in the state of New Mexico. Over the centuries, this fascinating citys identity has metamorphosed many times. In 1862, it briefly became the western capital of the Confederate States of America, before Confederate hopes for the territory were destroyed at the Battle of Glorieta Pass. In 1880, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad brought industry and wealth from the east, as well as tuberculosis-infected lungers who came by the thousands to seek a cure in the Heart of Health Country. Then, in 1926, Route 66 transformed the city into a neon-decked oasis for automobile travelers journeying through the newly accessible West. Though many of these identities have faded, their legacy lives on in the beating heart of an ever-changing city.- Huning Castle Addition byPublication Date: 1945

Rio Rancho Estates
Rio Rancho Estates
What is now the city of Rio Rancho was initially part of the Alameda Land Grant, later the Thompson Ranch. A development corporation known as Rio Rancho Estates, Inc., started selling the land in 1962. A 1962 advertising circular offered a half-acre ranch estate for $795.00, payable in monthly installments of $10.00. Almost twenty years later, the ensuing development became the city of Rio Rancho in 1981.
