Population: 7,334 (2000) Area: 11.1 Square Miles (2001)

This has been a farming area since the Spanish Colonial period. A post office named Sandoval was established to serve the collection of farms and residents. As the Albuquerque Urban Area expanded, the character of the community changed from farming to rural residential with some farming. The Village was incorporated as Corrales in 1971 to provide for increased services and control over development. Over the years, the Village has enacted policies to protect their existing rural residential environment. The Village contains the historic Casa San Ysidro, a restored Spanish hacienda from the 1700's, and Old San Ysidro Church, built in the 1860's.

In 2000, employment in the Village was approximately 1,000. Nearly 30 percent of the employment is in the services sector. About 200 jobs, 20 percent, were in the retail sector. Corrales has a number of shops and fine restaurants that draw clients from throughout the metropolitan area.
