AREA FACTS:
The first Euro-American settlement in the area was Agua Negra Chiquita, 'Little Black Water' in Spanish, in 1865. The name was changed in 1890 to Santa Rosa (Spanish for 'Saint Rose'), referring to a chapel that Don Celso Baca (the founder of the city) built and named after both his mother Rosa and Saint Rose of Lima.
Just outside the Pecos Valley Ranch is one of New Mexico’s oldest permanent settlements “Puerto De Luna” which was established by the early 1860’s. An important farming and ranching center, the town was the Guadalupe County seat from 1891 until 1903. A strong oral tradition maintains that William “Billy the Kid” Bonney had many friends here and frequently visited the village and patronized Alexander Grzelochowski’s general store. On July 14th, 1881, Billy the kid, age 21, ate his last meal in Puerto De Luna and then rode down the famous Billy the Kid Trail which runs through the ranch to Fort Sumner where he was killed later that evening by Sheriff Pat Garret.
