Tucked away in the far northeastern corner of New Mexico is Union County, endless miles of semi-arid plains, where the earth meets the sky and where the past is still close to the surface: though things change in Union, some things never change.
There seems to be little doubt that there was justifiable need for the new county, because many of the people had to travel great distances in order to conduct their business at their respective county seats, and travel was hazardous.
Union County grew and prospered over the years, but, as with all communities, there were also hard times: droughts, fires, tornadoes, dust storms (the area was part of the Dust Bowl), and starving cattle all took their toll, as did the Great Depression.
