Initially founded by Spanish colonists in 1615 as Don Fernando de Taos, it was only intermittently occupied until the late 18th century, due to recurring conflict between European and indigenous peoples, most notably the Pueblo Revolt.
Taos was formally established as a permanent settlement in 1795 by Nuevo México Governor Fernando Chacón, serving as a fortified plaza and trading outpost for the neighboring Taos Pueblo and Hispano communities, including Ranchos de Taos, Cañon, Taos Canyon, Ranchitos, El Prado, and Arroyo Seco.
During the Mexican–American War, the region was occupied by the United States, triggering a rebellion among Hispanics and American Indians known as the Taos Revolt.
