About Anton Chico, New Mexico
Anton Chico is a community of 161 people in Guadalupe County, on the Pecos River. A peace treaty with the Comanches in 1786 let Spanish settlers push east from the Rio Grande valley toward the Pecos and the Great Plains. Salvador Tapia and 36 others then petitioned for land, and in 1822 New Mexico's government granted them the Anton Chico Land Grant, 378,537 acres. In return they promised to live there, share the land in common with any settlers who came later, and arm themselves with guns and bows to defend it.
The first families came downstream from La Cuesta, now called Villanueva, but raids drove them out in 1827. They returned in 1834, and this time the settlement lasted. Travelers in 1841-1842 found 200 to 300 people living in one-story adobe homes set around a plaza built for defense. The town reached its peak around 1890, with 900 people, nearly all Hispanic, and it served as a trading hub for much of eastern New Mexico.
“The little village of Anton Chico is built in a square, the houses fronting on the inner side, although there are strong doors, on the outer.”
- Bison hunters and tradersAnton Chico sat closer to the Great Plains, with their bison herds and Plains Indians, than most New Mexican settlements. In the 19th century many ciboleros, the bison hunters, and comancheros, who traded with the Plains Indians, set out from Anton Chico and its neighbors along the Pecos.
- Seven villages on the PecosSeven settlements grew up along 7.5 miles of the Pecos River, and Anton Chico became the largest of them. Two of its villages, Anton Chico Abajo and La Placita de Abajo, still show the old way of building a town around a central plaza.
- Route 66 moved away in 1937From before the turn of the century until probably after World War II, nearby ranches did their shopping in Anton Chico. Before 1937, Route 66 crossed the Pecos near the town, but when the highway was rerouted, Anton Chico was left far from the main roads. People moved away, and its population and business slowly declined.
- A school fight in 1973Before 1973 the district shut the local junior high and started sending Anton Chico's middle schoolers to Santa Rosa, which angered families here. The West Las Vegas School District offered to bus the children to its own schools if the state paid, but the New Mexico State Board of Education turned the request down in 1973. That year the Anton Chico elementary school had 154 students.
