Queen, New Mexico
Queen is an unincorporated community in Eddy County in southeastern New Mexico, in the southwestern United States. Although it currently has a population of around 50, it was formerly considered a ''ghost town''.〔Pearce, T. M. (1965) "Queen" ''New Mexico place names; a geographical dictionary'' University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque, New Mexico, p. 128, 〕〔Julyan, Robert (1998) "Queen" ''The Place Names of New Mexico'' (revised edition) University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque, New Mexico, pages 280-281, ISBN 0-8263-1689-1〕 Located in the foothills on the east side of the Guadalupe Mountains, in the southern Lincoln National Forest, it flourished in the early 20th century as a ranching center. Queen is located alongside NM Route 137, about 27 mi (50 mi by road) southwest of Carlsbad.
==History==
The area was originally settled by the agricultural and hunter gatherer Jornada Mogollon people about 200 CE whose suzerainty ended with the influx of the Apache and other plains raiders around 1450. Two Mogollon archaeological sites are located in Queen, Archeological Site No. AR 03-08-03-195 and Archeological Site No. AR-03-08-03-232.〔("New Mexico - Eddy County - Vacant / Not In Use" ) National Register of Historic Places〕
The recent community was founded in 1905 by entrepreneur J. W. Tulk who contracted with the local Queen Ranch (now Womack ranch) for water and land, and built a store and negotiated for a post office.〔 As part of the bargain, the town was named Queen.〔 The post office lasted from 1905 until 1920,〔 when ranching in the area had declined. For a while the only landmark was a single chimney,〔 but the community began to repopulate in the late 20th century.〔
