History

Anton Chico was a settlement on the Pecos River in New Mexico. It was one of the closest New Mexican settlements to the Great Plains with its bison herds and Plains Indians. Many Ciboleros (bison hunters) and Comancheros (traders with the Plains Indians) originated from Anton Chico and other Hispano communities in the 19th century. In 1890 it had a population of 900 people, all or nearly all Hispanic, and was a mercantile center for much of eastern New Mexico, but with out-migration the population and economic activity declined. A factor in its decline was the re-routing of Route 66 which before 1937 crossed the PECos River near Anton ChICO. The town is now part of the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico and is on the border of Arizona. It is located on the U.S. border with Texas. The city is now the location of the town of Pueblo, Mexico and of the state of New Mexico's largest city, Santa Fe. It has been the site of numerous battles between the United States Army and the Comanches since the early 1800s. It also has been known as the birthplace of the Mexican-American Trail of Tears, which led to the creation of the modern-day town of El Paso, Texas, in the 1930s and '40s. Its name is derived from the word "Anton", which means "the river" or "the place".

Education

In 1973 the Anton ChICO elementary, which covered Kindergarten through grade 6, had 154 students. The West Las Vegas School District offered to have school bus transportation to its schools and asked the State of New Mexico to pay for the transportation costs, but in 1973 the New Mexico State Board of Education denied the request to pay. The district closed the junior high school and began sending middle school students to Santa Rosa. This in turn made theAnton Chico residents upset at the school district. The school district closed its junior high in 1973 and sent the students to the Santa Rosa high school, which was the only high school in the district.
