History

Grants, New Mexico was founded in 1872 as Los Alamitos by Don Jesus Blea.It was later renamed Grants after Canadian brothers Angus, Lewis, and John Grant who were awarded a contract to build a section of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad through the region. The town prospered from railroad logging in the nearby Zuni Mountains, and it was a section point for the Atlantic and Pacific, which became part of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. After the decline of logging in the 1930s, Grants-Milan gained fame as the carrot capital of the United States.Agriculture was aided by the creation of Bluewater Reservoir, and the region’s volcanic soils provided ideal conditions for farming. Grants also benefited from its location as airway beacon and later by U.S. Route 66, which brought travelers and tourists, and the businesses that catered to them. Then the uranium mining boom took place and Grants NM was the leading uranium producer in the world.
