Today, January 6, 2025, is the 113th anniversary of New Mexico becoming a state. It was a Saturday at 11:30 a.m. in Washington, D. C. when President William Howard Taft signed the statehood bill officially making New Mexico the 47th state in the United States. I want to talk about people who were there in 1912.

New Mexico is so big that you could make at least four other states out of our size. And we are in the unique touching three other states at the Four Corners spot. Tourist love to put one foot in one state, one hand in another, their other foot in another and if they don’t fall over, which does happen with laughter, the final hand in a fourth state. Let’s take a tour of New Mexico, a quick tour at that.

Wherever you live some of the streets and some of the areas of New Mexico are named after real people. They are called Place names since the place, be it a New Mexico county, town, street or some other descriptor is tied to a real person’s name. Example: Deming New Mexico is named for the wife of a railroad executive in the 1880s. We have lots of place names of real people in New Mexico.
