Late last year, Santo Domingo Pueblo's tribal council quietly, and unanimously, decided to change the pueblo's name.
The traditional community, about halfway between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, is now known as Kewa Pueblo.
The name change was disclosed at a meeting of the All Indian Pueblo Council in January, according to the Alvin Warren, secretary of the state Department of Indian Affairs.
The name change became more widely known when operators of the Rail Runner Express announced last week that a new train stop opening March 22 will be called Kewa Pueblo Station.
