1030 Los Pueblos

Home to the Los Alamos National Labs, the words “Los Alamos” actually means the cottonwoods in Spanish.  Built on the four mesas of Pajarito Plateau and White Rock Canyon, the city of Los Alamos and White Rock both make up the population base for the city.  Los Alamos was original founded during World War II to house the scientists and laboratories where the Manhattan Project was undertaken.
