Some History

Before the arrival of the Spanish, groups of natives who were called “conchos” lived on the banks of the Conchos and San Pedro rivers. During the colonial period, the population was on the trade routes. It was not until 1836 that the town of Meoqui was founded. The name “Meoqui” is a Rarámuri word meaning “workplace.” Wildlife is rich in this wetland. It is a site of bird migration.
