Chaco means old enemies.
Chaco Canyon National Monument was created in 1907.
The Chaco canyon buildings were built by the ancestors of todays Pueblo people. They are often called the Ancestral Pueblo people. They are not cliff dwellings but on level ground and made of stone.
The Anasazi, or ancestral Pueblo people, inhabited the Four Corners area of the United States (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah). They created incredible architectural structures (like the beautiful cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde) and petroglyphs, all of which suggest a rich cultural and artistic community.
They called them "pueblos," a Castilian word meaning "village." The one in Chaco Canyon was called Pueblo Bonito (the Beautiful Village).

Drought strikes Chaco Canyon
The Ancestral Puebloans, also known as the Anasazi, were known for their multistory rock and adobe dwellings in the American Southwest, particularly in places like Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon. These impressive structures were built between 600-1300 AD and reflect their advanced architectural skills and understanding of the local landscape.
The source of logs in Chaco Canyon changed over time due to deforestation in the local area. Initially, logs were sourced from nearby forests, but as those resources became depleted, people had to travel further to find suitable trees for construction and fuel, leading to a shift in sourcing locations.
