Curry County

Curry County was established in 1909 and named after George Curry, Territorial Governor of New Mexico (1907-1910).

Curry County was created from parts of Quay and Roosevelt counties. It lies on the far eastern side of the state and is adjacent to the state of Texas. The County is 1405.9 square miles, making it one of the smallest counties in New Mexico. The Santa Fe Railroad began its first transcontinental traffic through the open prairie land and in 1907 the town-site formally known as Clovis was founded and became the County Seat.

Cities located in Curry County are Clovis, Melrose, Texico, and Grady. Curry County is also home to Cannon Air Force Base. The approximate population for the county is over 50,000.
