Sandoval
County was created March 10, 1903 from Bernalillo County. Bernalillo is the
county seat. The north east part of Sandoval was taken in 1949 to form Los
Alamos County. Sandoval County
was named for the family who settled in this area. The first appearance of the name comes from
Juan de Dios Sandoval Martinez,
a native of Mexico City,
who came with the Reconquest of 1692. His immediate descendants dropped the
“Martinez.”
Sandoval County
was formed long after the Pueblo
peoples settled New Mexico.
Seven pueblos and their people and traditions are a part of the county. Visit
the Pueblo Cultural Center.
