About Orogrande
Set along U.S. 54 against the backdrop of the Jarilla Mountains, Orogrande is a quiet desert community with just a few dozen residents. The town started as a railroad stop in the late 1800s and boomed briefly during an early gold rush, but today it feels more like a peaceful relic of the Old West. With Fort Bliss and open desert surrounding the area, life here is all about wide vistas and extreme solitude. Anyone moving here gets immense quiet and starry night skies, though you will have to commute to Alamogordo or El Paso for everyday shopping and errands.
