Socorro is within the Rio Grande Valley, and the seat of Socorro County, New Mexico. Piro-speaking people of the Teypana Pueblo were there when the first expedition of Spanish families traveled north from Mexico in 1598. As the travelers were treated well by the native people, they referred to the pueblo as "Socorro", which means "to give aid" or "to give succor".
