About Carlsbad, New Mexico
Carlsbad is a city of 32,238 people and the county seat of Eddy County. It sits on both banks of the Pecos River, near the Guadalupe Mountains. The town was founded as Eddy on September 15, 1888. It was named for Charles B. Eddy, a co-owner of the Eddy-Bissell Livestock Company, and it became a municipal corporation in 1893.
Before the Pecos Valley Railroad arrived in 1891, visitors left the train at Toyah, Texas, and rode 90 miles by buggy to reach the town. Later, mineral springs near the flume were promoted for their healing powers. So the town voted to take a new name, Carlsbad, after the famous spa of Karlsbad in Bohemia. On March 25, 1918, the population passed 2,000, and Governor Washington Ellsworth Lindsey proclaimed Carlsbad a city.
- A river over a riverLocal cattlemen saw that Pecos water could turn the grazing land of Eddy's Halagueno Ranch into irrigated farms. Workers built the Avalon Dam upstream and dug canals to bring the water into town. Trouble came where a canal met the river again downstream. The Pecos River Flume solved it, first in wood and later in concrete, and it is often called the only place where a river crosses itself.
- Cowboys found Bat Cave in 1901Local cowboys rediscovered the great caves southwest of town in 1901, when people called them Bat Cave. Carlsbad Caverns National Park was created on May 14, 1930, about 20 miles from the city, and it made Carlsbad known far beyond New Mexico.
- Potash since 1925Potash was discovered near Carlsbad in 1925, and for many years the city led the American market. When that market declined in the 1960s, residents and city leaders pushed for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, which stores nuclear waste deep in underground salt beds. Congress approved it in 1979, building began in 1980, and the first waste arrived in 1999.
- Built of soft local brickMost of the town's early buildings were made of bricks fired nearby, which were soft and poor in quality. The First National Bank of Eddy, at Canal and Fox streets, is one that still stands, and it joined the National Register in 1976.
