QUICUCHABE INDIANS. The Quicuchabe Indians were one of twenty Indian groups that joined Juan Domínguez de Mendoza on his journey from the area of El Paso to the vicinity of present San Angelo in 1683–84. Since Mendoza did not indicate at what point the Quicuchabes joined his party, it is impossible to determine their range or affiliations. However, the Indians between the Pecos River and the San Angelo area were being hard pressed by Apache Indians at this time, and it seems likely that the Quicuchabes ranged somewhere between these two localities.
