Fun Fact: The ancient village of Oraibi, located on the Third Mesa of the Hopi Indian Reservation in Arizona, is the oldest continuously inhabited community in the country; the community began around 1100 AD. Ácoma Pueblo, New Mexico, also called Sky City because it sits atop a 357-foot mesa, was founded about the same time. Mesas are the flat-topped mountains found in the desert.
