New Mexico shares borders with five states in the Southwest of the US. The state’s capital, Santa Fe, is the oldest capital in the country and the oldest city in New Mexico. The oldest colonial government building in the US is the Santa Fe governor’s palace. The Polaroid camera and the self-guided bullet were both invented in the state. New Mexico used to be the uranium capital of the world for its high production in the 20th century. One third of state residents speak Spanish, in large part because it has a large Hispanic community.
