Happy birthday, Sandoval County.
Sandoval County was founded on March 10, 1903. 122 years later, elected officials, first responders, county residents and employees gathered at the Sandoval County Administration Building in Bernalillo to celebrate.
Sandoval County Commission Chair Michael Meek kicked off the festivities.
“Thank you so much for celebrating a great time for all of us,” Meek said. “With all the great changes we’ve got going on in the county, it’s going to be a good next 122.”
Since its founding in 1903, Sandoval County has grown to over 150,000 people across 3,700 square miles.
