Actually the early cowboys came across the Rio Grande from Mexico into New Mexico in the 1600's. So yes, there were already people living there. The 1860's ushered in the Cowboys from which legends are made and represent a unique part of Americana.

Yes, your talking about the vaquero from Mexico. The Spanish were excellent at herding livestock and brought the idea with them to Mexico. We borrowed the idea. Eventually the cowboy fell victim to the locomotive.

Oh, some of the other people living in the west were Native Americans.
