CURRY COUNTY COURT HOUSE
Clovis, New Mexico
Clovis was named by the daughter of a Santa Fe
Railroad Official for the first Christian King of
France and is the seat of Curry County. The town
began in 1907 as Riley's Switch, a siding on the
Santa Fe, but grew rapidly after the railroad
brought its shops and warehouse here from Mel-
rose. It is now a 4-way division point of the Santa
Fe, a junction of U.S. Highways 60 - 70 - 84
(east- - west) and State Highway No. 18 (North -
South). It has grown to a city of 27,000 friendly
people that extend a WELCOME hand to you.
