About Clovis

Clovis is an eastern New Mexico city with a railroad origin and a strong military and agricultural economy. It began in 1906 as the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway pushed through the area, and rail still matters through BNSF activity. Cannon Air Force Base and the 27th Special Operations Wing are major local institutions, joined by food processing, dairies, and manufacturing such as Southwest Cheese. Clovis feels like a High Plains service city: practical, windswept, and deeply tied to base life.
