About Corrales

As of the 2020 census, Corrales had a population of 8,493.

History
The village of Corrales (Spanish for "corrals") is located along the Rio Grande and is built on the site of two Indian Pueblos settled before AD 500 by the Tiguex Indians, and which were later occupied by Spanish Colonists and explorers who colonized the region around 1540. The Spanish colonists subsequently built an adobe church on the site called the Church of San Ysidro in 1868, named after the annual fiesta de San Ysidro in May.
In 1710, a grant of the Alameda lands (including Corrales) was given to Corporal Francisco Montes Vigil, a soldier in the Spanish Army. Vigil sold it in 1712 to Captain Juan Gonzáles Bas who was then living in Bernalillo. Gonzáles subsequently sold the land comprising the Village of Corrales in 1718 to Salvador Martinez. Over time, the land comprising the Village of Corrales was parceled off and sold for agricultural development and livestock ranching. The current Village of Corrales government was incorporated and chartered in 1971.
The village was selected as #19 in CNN Money's list of the 100 best places to live in 2007.
