History

Even then, the threat of Indian raids was considerable. The village had a reputation for being contentious and requiring disproportionate effort to police; records show that viceregal intervention was frequently required to settle property disputes (Rael and Cuddihy, 2003). With a large Hispanic population, the village economy is largely dependent on agriculture and income from the nearby Molycorp Questa molybdenum mine. The population was 1,864 at the 2000 United States Census census. The names of two prominent peaks overlooking the village of Questa, Flag Mountain and Sentinel Peak, refer to the practice, during this period, of stationing watchmen on these high points to warn the village of approaching war parties.
