MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - July 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Don Felix Candelaria received the San Clemente Land Grant from the Spanish Royal Government in 1716. The land was later claimed by Don Antonio José Luna, whose ancestors arrived in the early 18th century. Don Antonio’s son Solomon Luna was instrumental in New Mexico’s quest for statehood and was singularly influential in the creation of the New Mexico State Constitution.

Ranching and farming were major commercial activities in Los Lunas and Solomon Luna and his nephew Eduardo Otero were two of the largest sheep ranchers in the United States. Maximiliano Luna served in the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War. German-born merchants, the Huning and Neustadt families brought Anglo goods and culture to Los Lunas in the 1860s.

From a population of 1,500 in 1986, Los Lunas has grown to more than 15,000 people today making it the second fastest-growing community in New Mexico.
