Adobe apartment living that beat condos to the punch by a thousand years.
means A town or village, especially one built of adobe or stone in the American Southwest style, and also the Spanish word for 'people' or 'nation.'
from Straight from Spanish "pueblo," meaning 'town' or 'people,' which descends from Latin "populus" (the same root that gives English 'population' and 'populace'). Spanish colonizers applied the word to the stacked adobe settlements they encountered in the Southwest, and it stuck — so thoroughly that in English 'pueblo' now mostly means the buildings themselves, while in Spanish it still just means 'the people' or 'the town,' no architecture required.
