This document is the National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for the San José de los Jémez Mission and Gíusewa Pueblo Site in Jémez Springs, Sandoval County, New Mexico. The NHL nomination for the San José de los Jémez Mission and Gíusewa Pueblo Site documents its national significance under NHL Criterion 1 for its association with the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century spread of Spanish rule northward in New Spain and for its association with the efforts of Franciscan friars to create and operate missions and spread Catholicism in North America. The site includes the remains of an early seventeenth-century mission complex and a Jémez Indian pueblo importantly associated with the Spanish colonial and Native American history of the nation. The period of national significance is 1598 to circa 1680.
