Local Area Info: Columbus, New Mexico

Columbus is a village in Luna County, New Mexico, United States, about 3 miles north of the Mexican border. It is considered a place of historical interest, as the scene of the attack in 1916 by Mexican revolutionary leader Francisco "Pancho" Villa that caused America to send 10,000 troops there in the punitive Mexican Expedition. The population was 1,664 at the 2010 census.

Columbus was established in 1891 just across the Mexican border from Palomas, Chihuahua, Mexico, and named after 15th-century explorer Christopher Columbus. In 1902, the village was moved 3 miles north when the El Paso and Southwestern Railroad built its Columbus Station. This station is now converted into a museum run by the Columbus Historical Society.

About 1905, it was a very small town with a community of about 100 residents, two of those early settlers being Colonel Andrew O. Bailey, and Louis Heller. By this time, Columbus had only one general store, a saloon, and a society inspector. In time, a high school was built, and Perrow G. Mosely established the Columbus News, which later was renamed as the Columbus Courier. By 1915, the town had 700 residents, the Columbus State Bank was built, four hotels were constructed, and several stores and a Baptist church were also established. At that time, Columbus also possessed rich silver, copper, lead, and zinc deposits.
