Hwy 60 (mile marker 327) Fort Sumner (elevation 4,028 ft) was named for the fort built in 1862 to guard the Navajo and Apaches on the Bosque Redondo Indian Reservation. It was discontinued as a military post in 1868 and the buildings and site sold to Lucien B. Maxwell. The town grew out of settlements clustering around the Maxwell family properties. It moved to its present site with the construction of the Belén Cutoff of the Santa Fe Railroad around 1907. October 2002 -Fort Sumner- Next -US Hwy 84- Next |
