Corrales is a village in southern Sandoval County, New Mexico, United States.

First farmed by Tiquex Pueblo people, chosen due to its proximity to the Rio Grande, as documented by Hispano farmers of Nuevo México in the late 1500s.

The Rio Grande Bosque on the eastern edge of the village provides refuge for native animals and plants, and ancient Pueblo and Hispano acequias continue to be maintained by the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District.

[5] The village of Corrales (Spanish for "corrals") is located along the Rio Grande and is built on the site of two Indian Pueblos settled before AD 500 by the Tiguex Indians, and which were later occupied by Spanish Colonists and explorers who colonized the region around 1540.

In 1710, a grant of the Alameda lands (including Corrales) was given to Corporal Francisco Montes Vigil, A soldier in the Spanish army.

Gonzáles subsequently sold the land comprising the Village of Corrales in 1718 to Salvador Martinez.

Over time, the land comprising the Village of Corrales was parceled off and sold for agricultural development and livestock ranching.

Newer homes built in Corrales are no longer allowed to install leach fields and are required to use closed septic systems with a holding tank which must be pumped regularly by sewage trucks at the homeowner's expense.

[12][13] Corrales is divided in a lower riparian habitat and a drier, sandy shrubland uphill on the west side of the Rio Grande.
