message: Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, 8th Duke of Alburquerque says,
:"The villa of Alburquerque (note the difference in spelling from the name of the current city) was founded February 7, 1660 in New Mexico under his direction. He granted land to more than 100 Spanish families there."
and New Spain#The last Spanish Habsburgs (1643–1713) says,
:"The U.S. (modern day New Mexico) town of Alburquerque was founded in 1660, ..."
and History of New Mexico#Spanish Exploration and Colonization says,
:"Spanish settlers arrived at the site of Albuquerque in the mid-1600s."
But Albuquerque, New Mexico#Early settlers says,
:"The city was founded in 1706 as the Spanish colonial outpost of Alburquerque; ..."
and New Mexico#History says,
:"While developing Santa Fe as a trade center, the returning settlers founded the old town of Albuquerque in 1706, ..."
The city's website says,
:"Although there was no formal villa in the area, by the 1650s several dozen Spanish estancias (farms), were scattered throughout the valley. Among them was the home of Francisco de Trujillo and his wife, dona Luisa, located on the east bank of the Rio Grande amid a large stand of cottonwoods, near present-day Old Town. The property, which came to be known as El Bosque de doña Luisa (the Grove of doña Luisa), was chosen by New Mexico's governor in 1706 to be the site of the Villa de Alburquerque.
: ...
:On 23 April 1706 Francisco Cuervo y Valdés, who replaced Governor Vargas in 1704, wrote to the king of Spain and to the viceroy of New Spain he had founded a new villa in New Mexico. Cuervo y Valdés named the community after the viceroy, Fernandez de la Cueva, Duque de Alburquerque. The governor, in his letter wrote:
::I certify to his majesty: That I have founded a villa on the banks and in the valley of the River of the North in a place of good fields, waters, pastures, and timber, distant from this villa of Santa Fe about twenty-two leagues,... naming it the Villa of Alburquerque... "
What — if anything — happened in 1660?

message: This term needs an explanation.  Were there older adult males who were somehow "not viable" ?  How so ? StuRat (talk) 23:53, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It also needs shortening. No "juvenile" male can be older than an adult male, so "eldest adult" is pleonasm. Surtsicna (talk) 11:17, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
