| Profile: |
Tularosa is situated at the junction of US 54 and US 70, 13 mi N of Alamogordo. The following information is from "The Place Names of New Mexico" by Robert Julyan; Revised Edition, University of New Mexico Press (Tularosa) Southwest Spanish, "having reeds, cattails," from the Mexican Spanish tule, "reed, cattail," derived in turn from the Nahuatl tullin, "cattail"; tularosa refers to a "reedy place." In 1862 Hispanic settlers arrived at the edge of the marshy land where Tularosa Creek fans out and loses itself among the reeds and marsh grass about a mile from the mouth of Tularosa Canyon. It was those marsh plants, or tules, that gave place its name. |
