In Spanish, what is the "Laws of the Indies" town known as?

The term "Laws of the Indies" refers to a set of regulations prescribed by the Spanish crown in the 16th century for governing the Spanish colonies in the Americas. The "Pueblo" is the name given to the towns established under these laws. The Pueblo was designed to provide a structured community for Spanish settlers and indigenous peoples.

In this context, a Pueblo is a community that typically includes residential areas, agricultural fields, and sometimes administrative centers. It embodies the approach of the Spanish colonial system to create organized settlements and facilitate control over the territory and its inhabitants.

While other terms such as "Mission," "Poblacion," and "Presido" refer to specific types of settlements or establishments within the colonial framework, "Pueblo" is the most fitting choice when discussing the general type of town established according to the Laws of the Indies. Each of the other terms has distinct functions—missions were primarily religious establishments, poblacion refers to the population living in a designated area, and presidios were military forts designed for defense. However, a Pueblo specifically denotes a civilian town created for governance and settlement under the colonial practices of Spain.
