The Bibos were Jewish pioneers of New Mexico.
They were Ashkenazi Jews who originated in Eastern Europe and who came to New Mexico with the opening of the Santa Fe Trail and after the United States’ invasion and occupation of the territory during the Mexican War in the mid-19th century.
During the 1870s, all ten Bibo siblings immigrated to New Mexico, and three of them—Nathan, Solomon and Simon—started their own mercantile businesses, after brief stints as clerks with the Spiegelberg family, major players in Santa Fe's territorial economy.
Jewish frontier life and history, Judaism, Judaica.
