Cibola. Coronado, among other early Spanish explorers, searched in vain for a fabled land of great wealth in the U.S. Southwest called “Cibola,” or the “Seven Cities of Cibola,” which later proved to be an area in western New Mexico inhab- ited by the Zuri Indians, who had no great material wealth. The name, which derives from a native term for buffalo, was once suggested as a state name for the territory that became Colorado. |
