Taos, NM

From its strong mix of American Indian and Hispanic heritage to the leftover hippie communes of the 1960s and 1970s, Taos wins the prize for eccentricity and intrigue. The city's Hispanic influence began in the 1500s, when the Spanish colonized the area and remained even through the Taos and Pueblo Indian's successful rebellion at the end of the 17th century. Although various rebellions after the Mexican-American War of the 1800s kept the US governors on their toes, the territory of New Mexico was successfully established in 1850.
