| Probably called Cuidad De Reno (city of the reindeer) because of its location in the mountains , and later through popular speech, the word cuidad was dropped. A post office was established from 1907 to 1934. Reference: New Mexico Place Names, by Pearce, lists the settlement as abandoned. Submitted by: |
