Unlike many communities in New Mexico whose history spans centuries, Rio Rancho's spans mere decades. Beginning with the purchase of a 55, 000 acre ranch northwest of Albuquerque in the 1960s, AMREP Southwest laid the foundation for what would become "The City of Vision, " culminating with a city that incorporated in 1981. In 1980, the Intel Corporation chose Rio Rancho to build one of its main fabrication facilities. Not being constrained by history, tradition, or custom, Rio Rancho welcomed this high-tech giant, and the huge industrial complex that Intel built, and continually renovated over the years, produces and exports its cutting edge products to this day. Rio Rancho has always had its focus on the future, as evidenced by the bold creation in 2006 of a City Center on what was just desolate mesa in the geographic heart of the city. Anchored by a modern Rio Rancho City Hall and the state-of-the-art Santa Ana Star Center, this forward-looking development was welcomed the likes of Hewlett-Packard, Central New Mexico Community College, UNM West, and the UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center.
