What County is Las Cruces?

Located near El Paso and the Mexican border, Las Cruces is the second largest city in New Mexico. Although the city has a much longer (Spanish) settlement history – it only came to the USA in 1853 – it was not declared a city until 1907. In the university town you will find numerous sights. The largest radio telescope in the world can be visited near Magdalena.

The old mining town of Magdalena has invested a lot in a new tourist infrastructure. In the meantime, the tarred roads increase the accessibility of the place. The territory of the present town of Socorro was once again visited and named by Spanish explorers in 1598. The seaside resort of Truth or Consequences owes its unusual name to a game show from the 1960s, after which it was renamed. Magdalena and Truth or Consequences are among the poorest cities in New Mexico.
