HAGERMAN, NEW MEXICO

Hagerman, Chaves County, New Mexico was laid out on the new PV&NE railroad in 1894 but was first named Feliz for the River Felix which enters the Pecos River just north of the town. The name was shortly changed to honor J. J. Hagerman, builder of the railroad.

Though Hagerman's railroad was later acquired by the AT&SF railroad, his name remains on the town.

Hagerman is on NM 2 about 17 miles southeast of Roswell.
