History
San Jose was founded in 1803 when allotments of land were made to 45 men and two women by the Spanish government of New Mexico.Jenks, Kelly L. (2011), "Vecinos en la Frontera: Early History and Recent Archaeology of San Miguel del Vado, New Mexico", pp. 15-17, [https://www.academia.edu/837428/Vecinos_en_la_Frontera_Colonial_History_and_Archaeology_at_San_Miguel_del_Vado_New_Mexico_2011], accessed 13 Mar 2019 The purpose of the settlement, and others in the Pecos River valley, was to defend the eastern flanks of the New Mexican settlements from Indian attacks, especially by the Apaches. Many of the early settlers were landless genizaros. Many of the comancheros and ciboleros who traded with the Comanche and hunted bison on the Great Plains came from San Jose and other Pecos Valley settlements."San Miguel del Vado", Department of Anthropology, New Mexico State University, [https://anthropology.nmsu.edu/anthropology-faculty/jenks/san-miguel-del-vado/], accessed 13 Mar 2019
