The city was named after by the provincial governor Don Francisco Cuervo y Valdes in honor of Don Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, viceory of New Spain from 1653 to 1660.
The city was founded in 1706 as the Spanish colonial outpost of Ranchos de Albuquerque.
The town of Alburquerque was built in the traditional Spanish village pattern: a central plaza surrounded by government buildings, homes, and a church. This central plaza area has been kept and is open to the public as a museum, cultural area, and center of commerce.
