Mesa Verde is located in Montezuma County, Colorado.
The site was established as a park in 1906 by Congress and President Theodore Roosevelt and occupies 52,485 acres.
Mesa Verde is Spanish for "green table", or "green table mountain". For over 700 years, the Ancestral Pueblo people built thriving communities on the mesas and in the cliffs of Mesa Verde.
The Pueblo people survived using a combination of hunting, gathering, and subsistence farming of crops such as corn, beans, and squash. (also known as the "Three Sisters")
