Corrales is a village in Sandoval County, New Mexico. It is a part of the
Albuquerque metropolitan area. With proximity to the Rio Grande, the village
was founded for agricultural purposes. The Rio Grande Bosque on the eastern
edge of the village provides refuge for native animals and plants. The
village fights hard to maintain its rural character in light of being
surrounded by rapidly growing cities.
The village is bordered on the east by the Rio Grande and, across the river, by the Sandia Indian
Reservation. To the south is the City of Albuquerque while to the west and north is the
City of Rio Rancho. The greater metropolitan area numbers well over a half million people,
but Corrales has a population of about 7300.
According to the Village of Corrales website prehistoric sites indicate the Corrales Valley has been occupied as early as 500 A.D. when the ancestors of the present-day Indian Pueblos derived sustenance from the fertile valley.
Today, Corrales is distinguished by its broad green pastures and orchards, its rich historic and artistic character, and of course the sounds and scents of roosters, cows, horses and sheep.
