The Conquistadors were the warriors who led the Spanish exploration of the New World during the 16th Century. One Conquistador, Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, crossed the Arkansas River near the 10th Meridian on June 29, 1541. This site is very close to the location of present day Dodge City. When the first class of Dodge City Community College met on September 10, 1935, one of the new students from New Mexico was familiar with the history of Coronado and suggested that the Conquistador be adopted as the college mascot. Dodge City Community College has been the home of the "Conqs" ever since.
