Located in New Mexico's Taos County, Taos was incorporated in 1934, and takes its name after the Native American village, Taos Pueblo. Alternately referred to the Place Of Red Willows, it boasts a number of buildings that feature on the National Register of Historic Places, such as the the Mabel Dodge Luhan House, the Kit Carson House and the Ernest L. Blumenschein House. Taos featured on an episode of the X-Files owing to the eerie Taos Hum, which is a mysterious low-frequency noise that only some people can hear.
