Nageezi Chapter
|
The community of Nageezi has been in existence since the early 1800's. The name Nageezi was given to the area's Post Office in 1953. The name comes from an elderly lady who harvested pumpkins and squash every year. She was known as the "Pumpkin Lady". The Navajo word “Naayizi” means squash or pumpkin.
Nageezi Chapter is located along U.S. Highway 550, 25 miles east of Chaco Canyon and 36 miles south of Bloomfield, New Mexico.
