Socorro is a historic city located in central New Mexico, situated along the Rio Grande. The city is primarily known as the home of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech), a respected public university specializing in science and engineering.
Founded in the 16th century as a Native American pueblo, Socorro played a significant role in New Mexico's mining history during the 19th century. The city's name, meaning "help" or "aid" in Spanish, comes from its role as a respite for Spanish colonists.
Today, Socorro maintains its connection to scientific research through the Very Large Array radio telescope facility located nearby, while preserving its rich cultural heritage through various historic buildings and cultural institutions. The area's natural landscape, characterized by desert terrain and the nearby Socorro Mountains, provides a distinctive backdrop to the city's cultural and educational activities.
