Biohazard and Pathogen Disinfection in Nambe, NM

Nambe is a census-designated place (CDP) in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, set at an elevation of about 5,990 feet in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Santa Fe.

The CDP centers on Nambé Pueblo, a federally recognized Tewa tribe; the pueblo's Tewa name, Nąnbeˀ Ówîngeh, echoes a Tewa word loosely interpreted as "rounded earth," and the dataset's unaccented spelling "Nambe" is the anglicized form of Nambé.

The Pueblo of Nambé has existed at its present site since the 14th century and is a member of the Eight Northern Pueblos.

Nambé was a primary cultural, economic, and religious center when Spanish colonists arrived in the early 17th century, and its people joined the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, which expelled the Spanish from New Mexico for twelve years.

The 2020 census counted 1,907 residents in the Nambe CDP, up from 1,818 at the 2010 census.

In the 2010 census, the Nambe CDP had 778 households.

The Nambé reservation covers roughly 19,900 acres in Santa Fe County.

The Nambé people's language is a dialect of Tewa, part of the Kiowa-Tanoan language family.

The historic district of Nambé Pueblo, about 7.7 acres at the pueblo's core, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The pueblo operates the Nambé Falls Recreation Area, built around the waterfalls and reservoir lake on the Rio Nambé in the Sangre de Cristo foothills.
