The town existed in name only. It was a short-lived promotional effort by the Sacramento Valley Irrigation Company that filed the town plot in the Otero County Clerk's office at Alamaogordo on July 8, 1907. Some lots were sold but no building or house was ever erected. A few tents and shacks were all that ever existed and time has obliterated all traces of the town that never existed.Courtesy Henry Chenoweth.
