"By the mid-18th century, Spanish colonization had begun along the Rib Grande south of Albuquerque. The Belin land grant was made to encourage this expansion, and colonists from Albuquerque settled here around 1740. The early com-munity also included a group of genilaros, or Hispanicized Indians. Belen is Spanish for Bethlehem."
