Don Presiliano Archunde

is credited for finding the sprin, later called
Concho Spring. This was the first time that he was in
this area, then a young man and single.

Later, after he had gone back to his home, what is now San Juan
County, New Mexico., he married, thought about the nice spring,
with an abundance of fresh, cold water, and decided to bring his
family to settle here permantely. Which they did, and also sent word
to other relatives about their new home.
