Gallup
is a small city in McKinley County, northwest New Mexico. As of the 2000 census, the population was 20,209. Founded in 1881 as a railroading town, it was named after David Gallup, a paymaster for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. Gallup is the most populous city between Albuquerque, New Mexico and Flagstaff, Arizona. It lies along Interstate 40 (Historic Route 66) about 25 miles east of the Arizona border. The town is a hub for the popular Four Corners Region and a major stop for the Amtrak and also served by America West Airlines. It is sometimes called the "Indian Capital of the World," due to its location at the heart of Native American lands and being the largest Indian center in the Southwest. One-third of the town's population has Native American roots, with the Navajo being, by far, the most numerous. A second major Native American settlement in the region, Zuni Pueblo, is located approximately 35 miles south of town. Zuni is the largest of New Mexicos 19 Indian pueblos. The Zuni are best known for their intricate jewelry made from delicately cut turquoise or coral set in sterling silver.Another major tribe in the area is the Hopi, known for their pottery and unique carved kachinas. Other Native American peoples in the region, the Acoma and Laguna pueblos between Gallup and Albuquerque, are both widely known for their stunning polychrome pottery.
