Polvadera, New Mexico
Polvadera (La Polvadera de San Lorenzo) is an unincorporated community in Socorro County in central New Mexico, USA. It is located on the west bank of the Rio Grande, near the mouth of the Rio Salado, and on the western spur of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro.
==Name==
The name may be based upon a Piro name for the place,〔Harden, Paul (2010) ("Polvadera y Chamisal: Two of Socorro County's historic villages and the San Lorenzo Land Grant" ) ''El Defensor Chieftain'' September 4, 2010〕 but altered in form because ''polvareda'' means ''dusty'' in Spanish, which, as US Army Lt. Emory noted in 1846,〔''Arrived at the town of Pulvidera, which we found, as its name implies, covered with dust.'' quoted in Marshall, Michael P. and Walt, Henry J., (1984) "Chapter 12: Post-Revolt Place Names: Polvareda" ''Rio Abajo: Prehistory and History of a Rio Grande Province'' New Mexico Historic Preservation Division, Santa Fe, p. 279, 〕 it certainly is. Other spellings of the name include Pulvidera〔US Census of 1850〕 and Pulvedera.〔US Census of 1870〕 The church in Polvadera was dedicated to San Lorenzo and his feast day, August 10, is the local fiesta.〔Pearce, T. M. (1965) "Polvadera" ''New Mexico place names; a geographical dictionary'' University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque, NM, p. 124, (OCLC 420847 )〕
