Albino Pérez

Albino Pérez

Albino Pérez (died August 8 1837) was a Mexican soldier and politician.

Pérez was appointed Governor of New Mexico in 1835. He was assassinated near the city of Santa Fe in 1837 during the Revolt of 1837 after he tried to impose taxes ordered by President Antonio López de Santa Anna.

In June 2007 a monument commemorating Pérez was deeded to the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe.

The Daughters of the American Revolution originally erected the simple stone marker, engraved with the date of Pérez’s assassination, near the corner of Hickox and Agua Fría streets in Santa Fe, in 1901.

But by 1970, the stone had become so worn that it was moved to the Palace of the Governors for safekeeping. For years, it has sat beneath one of the giant cottonwoods in the palace’s courtyard.
