Aztec Attractions
The town of Aztec is in San Juan County, northwestern New Mexico. Like the nearby Aztec Ruins National Monument, the town was misnamed by early settlers who thought that the Aztecs had lived here.
Aztec Ruins National Monument
Aztec Ruins National Monument is in the far northwest of New Mexico, on the border with Colorado. Settlers who reached this area around 1800 found a settlement of the Pueblo Indians and thought it was an Aztec town. The settlement, which was occupied between 1100 and 1300, consists of 400 rooms. There is a museum illustrating the old Indian culture.
