Welcome Visitors!
Founded in 1898, Portales is a charming university town closely linked with a picturesque late 19th century story of New Mexico. Named for a near by campsite where spring waters gushed from a series of cave-like porches across a pueblo style house, Portales or “Porches” in Spanish, is a gateway into New Mexico on the eastern border. Discover the secrets of Roosevelt County history, back to the days when homesteaders settled raw, untamed land where only Indians and a handful of cowboys roamed.
