History & Facts
The area around Tucumcari was very significant during
the Triassic Period, known as the dawn of the dinosaurs.
Dinosaur fossils and footprints are very common here. Fossils
from Quay County are in museums around the country,
including Mesalands Community College Dinosaur Museum.
Tucumcari, originally called Six Shooter Siding, was a tent
city at the foot of 4,999-foot high Tucumcari Mountain for
the Rock Island Railroad. Tucumcari owes it beginnings to
a snowstorm and the railroad. In 1900, two men stayed with
A.D. Goldenburg during a horrible three-week snow storm. In
return for Goldenburg’s hospitality, the two men told him that
a railroad would soon be going through the area establishing
a stop four miles from Goldenberg’s home. Goldenburg, his
brother, Max and two other businessmen, purchased property
where they felt the railroad would have to lay tracks.
By 1902, four passenger trains, two mail trains and two
freight trains made daily stops at the new city. By 1910,
almost 70 businesses had been established. Soon you will
be able to visit the Train Museum, which will be a part of
the Historic Railroad Depot located downtown off of Main
Street.
When Route 66 was built through the town more than
75 years ago, the community began to thrive. The original
“Main” street still runs through historic downtown
Tucumcari. The local MainStreet Project is working hard on
its goal to develop the historic downtown district as an arts
and theater district centered around the historic train depot.
Old Route 66 still winds its way through Tucumcari and
the neon lit signs down the boulevard and the vintage motels
and restaurants are just a few of the town’s landmarks which
continue as living legacies. The murals on the walls and in
the buildings around town are Tucumcari’s newest landmarks.
LOCATION: Historic Route 66, I-40, US 54, NM
104 and 209, 35.16 degrees north of the
equator and 103.72 degrees west of the
prime meridian.
POPULATION: Approximately 5,500
ELEVATION: 4,085 feet
CLIMATE: Dry, mild climate with an average low of
38ºF in January to an average high of 97ºF
in July.
Tucumcari is thought to be among the oldest place names
in New Mexico. While the real origin and meaning of
Tucumcari in not known for certain, most historians and
linguists believe that it is derived from a Plains Indian term,
meaning lookout point or signal peak.
T.M. Pearce, an English professor at the University of New
Mexico, researched the origin of Tucumcari. He believed
that Elliot Canonge, an Oklahoma linguist, had the most
convincing explanation. Canonge believed that the name
comes from the Comanche tukamukaru which means to lie
in wait for someone or something to approach. According to
Felix Kowena, Canonge’s Comanche informant, Tucumcari
Mountain was frequently used as a lookout by Comanche
war parties. The mountain peak was an excellent lookout
point since it can be seen from the Texas Panhandle more
than 50 miles away.
According to Herman Moncus, a local historian, another
possible meaning for the word comes from the Jemez
Indians who lived in the Rio Grande Valley, but hunted
in eastern New Mexico before 1800. Moncus believed
Tucumcari can be translated from the Jemez language to a
place of the buffalo hunt. Moncus’ research determined that
the Jemez Indians probably learned the name from other
tribes and it could be a name surviving from the pre-Indian
or paleo-Indian periods.
On a less scholarly note, in 1907, a Methodist minister
created a story about how the name evolved. The two finest
warriors of an Apache tribe that made their home at the
mountain met in combat to determine who would succeed
their dying Chief Wautonomah. The survivor would also
win the hand of the chief’s daughter, Kari. Tocom, the brave
loved by Kari, was slain by Tonopah in the battle. Overcome
with grief and rage, Kari seized her knife, killed Tonopah
and took her own life. Heartbroken at this tragic turn of
events, the old chief stabbed himself, crying out as he died,
“Tocum-Kari, Tocom-Kari.” This story is what became
known as “The Legend of Tucumcari.”

MESALANDS DINOSAUR MUSEUM
Mesalands Community College’s Dinosaur Museum has the
largest collection of bronze prehistoric skeletons in the world.
These bronzes, unlike the resin models in most museums, are
very resilient and invite the visitor to interact by touching.
The museum is also home to many fossils, figures, and
minerals representing the unique paleontology and geology
of the region. This museum was the first in the world to
exhibit the 30-foot long
torvosaurus skeleton
as its centerpiece.
This meat-eating
relative of the
tyrannosaurus
rex from the
Jurassic Period,
stood 15-feet tall
and weighed three tons.
With teeth four to six
inches long, this powerful
creature must have been
one of the most fearsome
of the dinosaur age.
FINE ARTS BRONZE
Mesalands Community College’s Fine Arts/Bronze
department offers traditional fine arts classes in sculpture
and various media, mold making, casting metals, and allows
participating in the complete foundry process. Specialty
classes are offered throughout the year, including the popular

TREE IDENTIFICATION WALKING TRAIL
EASTERN NEW MEXICO OUTDOOR ARBORETUM
This trail is located within the NM State University
Agricultural Science Center, 6502 Quay Rd. AM.5. The
Ag Science Center has been in operation since 1912. It is
NMSU’s oldest off-campus research facility. The center is
located three miles northeast of Tucumcari on US Highway
54. Prior to conducting research in irrigated agriculture,
the center evaluated trees for windbreak and farmstead
planting leading to the establishment of over 50 species of
trees and shrubs on the center grounds. In 2006, the NM
Soil and Water Conservation Commission provided funding
to help develop the Eastern NM Outdoor Arboretum with
tree identification signs, installation of a drip irrigation
system and replacement of some trees. Take a relaxing
and educational walk through nature at the ENM Outdoor
Arboretum. For information call 575-461-1620.

around town and turned them in to colorful, detailed
paintings depicting different “things” about
our area. You will be
amazed!
Ask for a Mural Map
Guide at any local
motel or restaurant
or at the Chamber of
Commerce.
