Santa Rosa (pop: 2750) is a small town between Albuquerque and Tucumcari, situated on the Pecos River at the intersection of Interstate 40, U.S. Route 84, and U.S. Route 54. The town is located west of, but not within, the Llano Estacado or "staked plains" of eastern New Mexico and west Texas. The first European settlement in the area was Aqua Negra Chiquita, "Little Black Water" in Spanish, in 1865. The name was changed in 1890 to Santa Rosa referring to a chapel that Don Celso Baca built and named after both his mother Rosa and Saint Rose of Lima. Please note that Northern New Mexico is heavily visited in the summer (May-August) which makes getting reservations difficult. The best time to visit is March / April / September / October when there is beautiful weather and less competition for reservations. New Mexico area code is 505.
