First seen by the Spaniards in 1581 and visited by Juan de Oņate in 1598.  Piro-speaking Pueblo Indians reportedly supplied much-needed corn, hence the name Socorro (help in Spanish).  The Church of Nuestra Seņora de Pilabó del Socorro was built about 1629.  Abandoned in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, the present town was founded in 1816.
