City of Alamogordo

Hello and welcome! I am Donald E. Carroll, Mayor of the city of Alamogordo, New Mexico, and it is my pleasure, on behalf of the citizens of Alamogordo, to welcome you to our city. Whether you are looking for a place to visit, a place to retire, or a place to locate your business, Alamogordo has it all. Founded in 1898 as a railroad stop on the way to the timber resources in the nearby Sacramento Mountains, we have grown to be a multi-cultural community of over 36,000 people. Home to Holloman Air Force Base — and its 49th Fighter Wing F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter, the 46th Test Group, and the German Air Force Flying Training Center — we take great pride in being a military community. For the tourist, a few of our area attractions include White Sands National Monument, the world's largest gypsum field; the New Mexico Museum of Space History, home of the International Space Hall of Fame; the New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired; Oliver Lee State Park; Alameda Park Zoo, the oldest zoo in the Southwest; the Toy Train Depot; and the Desert Lakes Golf Course, truly an oasis in the desert. If you are looking for quality of life, Alamogordo offers great weather, affordable housing, a low crime rate, a variety of recreational activities — featuring over 300 acres of parks, walking trails and sports related areas — an award winning Senior Center, the Flickinger Center for the Performing Arts, outstanding medical care at the Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center, as well as advanced educational opportunities at the New Mexico State University-Alamogordo campus. Ideally located in southern New Mexico, Alamogordo has a welcoming pro-business attitude. We have a well-developed transportation and utility infrastructure; an available, well educated workforce; tax incentives; and a variety of prime commercial sites and existing buildings to meet your needs. I hope you find your visit a pleasant one and that you come back again soon.

Sincerely,
Donald E. Carroll
Mayor
