About San Acacia, New Mexico
San Acacia is a community of 38 people in Socorro County, on the Rio Grande about 14 miles north of Socorro. Spanish settlers founded it as San Acacio. The town grew busy with railroad work after the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway built its line down the valley toward El Paso, Texas, starting in 1878.
The river that fed the town also hurt it. In August 1929 heavy rains fell over the Rio Puerco and Rio Salado, which join the Rio Grande a few miles to the north, and the floods reached from San Acacia down to San Marcial. More flooding a month later damaged the railroad and wiped out every crop in the valley, and today many buildings, the old church among them, stand empty.
“The village was named San Acacio after the Roman general who was martyred for being a Christian. The name of the village was changed to the illegal form San Acacia by the railroad in 1882.”
- The Initial Point, 1855In 1855 John W. Garretson set the Initial Point for New Mexico's Principal Meridian and Base Line on the hill east of the San Acacio cemetery. Every topographic map of the state is still measured from that spot.
- A dam that waited until 1934Engineers studied the narrow gorge here for a dam in 1906. A 50-foot dam would have stretched 1,200 feet and flooded about 18 square miles, but the gorge's basalt walls are only a thin sheet over loose sand and gravel, so a solid footing was unlikely and water would leak away. Nothing was built then. In 1934 the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District put up a smaller diversion dam instead.
- 29 gates on the Rio GrandeThat concrete diversion dam stands 17 feet high and 700 feet long, with 29 radial gates. The Bureau of Reclamation overhauled it in 1957, and it can send 283 cubic feet of water per second into the canals of the Socorro Division. The town also lends its name to the San Acacia reach of the river, which runs south to Elephant Butte Reservoir.
