On December 16th 1994 a little website was born. Its first words were, “Can you see me?”

On this day, the City of Albuquerque was one of the first governments in the state of New Mexico to “give birth” to a website. In fact, based upon our research, Albuquerque’s website appears to be the 3rd oldest municipal website in the country, just behind the City of Palo Alto, CA.

In 1994 a lot of people still hadn’t heard of the world wide web and few websites existed. Today, cabq.gov receives nearly 4 million visits a year….
