Chaparral, New Mexico's Largest Unincorporated Town, Weighs Breaking From Two Counties

Chaparral has grown into New Mexico's largest unincorporated community, but the borderland town just north of El Paso still has no city government, no single county home, and — according to residents and officials — not nearly enough public services to match its size. The community straddles Doña Ana County to the west and Otero County to the east, a split that has left roughly 16,500 residents, by the 2020 census, without the kind of local oversight most towns take for granted.

The bosque along the Rio Grande snakes through the heart of Albuquerque, creating about 22 miles of uninterrupted dirt trails. The dense and sprawling cottonwood tree canopy provides much needed respite from the unforgiving afternoon desert sun, clocking in around 5 to 7 degrees cooler than the city’s more developed areas in the summer.

We Ranked The 10 Best Hole-In-The-Wall Restaurants In New Mexico And Here Is Who Made The Cut

One modest Albuquerque cafe on this list has its own official day, proclaimed by the Governor of New Mexico. Not a trophy. Not a plaque. A whole day. That cafe opened in 1963, and the James Beard Foundation later named it one of America’s Classics. I think that says a lot about how this state treats its small, unfussy kitchens.

Deb Haaland and Peggy Flanagan Mark Their Historic Wins in Intentional Earrings

Last night, the 2026 midterm election results delivered plenty of historic firsts. It was a particularly powerful night for Native American representation: Democrat Deb Haaland became the first Native American woman to be elected as Governor of New Mexico, while Peggy Flanagan—the current lieutenant governor of Minnesota—became the first Native woman to win the U.S. Senate seat in her state. (And there could even be a third victory for the Indigenous community today: at the time of publishing this story, Alaska’s Mary Peltola is currently leading the race for a Senate seat, too.)
