Located 10 miles from the center of the state, this high desert town was established in 1902. Mountainair developed as a major center for pinto bean farming in the early 20th century until the drought of the 1940's. The region had been occupied earlier by Tompiro and eastern Tiwa pueblo Indians from prehistoric times through the mid-17th century, when it served as a major center for Spanish Franciscan missionaries. Ancient cities, pinto beans, and ranching make it's history. The railroad, natural beauty, Salinas Pueblo cultures and a pioneering spirit are reflected in the life of the town today.
