Pilabó

Pilabó was a former Piro pueblo located on the site of the present city of Socorro, New Mexico. In 1598 the vanguard of the Spanish colonizing caravan under Juan de Oñate acquired food at the Piro pueblo of Teypana. The Spaniards named that pueblo “Socorro” which means “help” or “aid” in Spanish. Eventually, a different but nearby pueblo, Pilabó, would be given the name "Socorro" following the May/June 1626 founding there of the mission of Nuestra Señora del Socorro. Some buried remains of Pilabó are still present south and southeast of the current church of San Miguel (established in the early 1800s on the ruins of the post-1626 church of Nuestra Señora which was destroyed in 1680/81) in Socorro.

gollark: The wikipedia page for `The Underground History of American Education` seems to have archive.org links to some stuff, but naturally my mobile network blocks archive.org because that makes sense and is an entirely reasonable thing to do.
gollark: I've heard it said that it works more to teach conformity, or make people happier with low level abuse.
