Local Historian, Dan Flores, in Eastern New Mexico

Santa Rosa, New Mexico experienced a population explosion after the railroad came to town in 1901, and the city remained well-connected, as iconic Route 66 brought people through town from the Depression through the 1970s. Throughout its history, the town has experienced severe droughts and floods, with both hazards striking the town hard in 1937. On this podcast episode, local historian Dan Flores shares perspectives of both natural and human history in this region of eastern New Mexico.
