The population was 1,261 as of the 2000 census. Pojoaque and Pojoaque Pueblo are neighboring communities. Pojoaque Pueblo is an Indian Reservation and the town of Pojoaque is a collection of communities near the Pueblo. The town consists of people from various ethnic backgrounds. The small village offers a visitor center, supermarket and convenience stores, gas stations, and a full service RV park. Pojoaque Pueblo is one of the six Tewa-speaking Rio Grande Pueblos, and a member of the Eight Northern Pueblos. Pojoaque Pueblo was settled around 500 AD. Today, it is home to New Mexico's largest and most expensive resort. The Pueblo also operates a casino and hotel and the Poeh Cultural Center and Museum. The cultural center and museum features Pueblo art and exhibits and hosts traditional Indian dances on weekends. It also houses an information center and the largest Indian arts and crafts shop in northern New Mexico. The interchange at 285 and 504 will take you to Los Alamos and at 503 will go to the villages of Nambé, Nambé Pueblo, Chimayo, Truches, Trampas, Penasco and on to Taos. This is the beginning of the High Road to Taos making Pojoaque the cross roads of the Espańola Valley.
