About Springer

Springer is a quiet community of under a thousand residents on the high plains of northeastern New Mexico. Situated right along Interstate 25 in the Cimarron River valley, the town gives you easy highway access north to Raton and south toward Las Vegas. Life here moves at a calm, unhurried pace, with wide horizons and the kind of friendly, open atmosphere typical of rural New Mexico ranching country.

Former courthouse in Springer, NM IMG 0543

The town grew up as a railroad stop along the historic Santa Fe Trail, and you can still see that frontier background in its vintage brick downtown and old territorial courthouse. Today, it is a practical, down-to-earth place to settle if you value affordable housing, peace and quiet, and quick access to outdoor recreation at nearby reservoirs, wildlife refuges, and the Cimarron foothills.
