Long Description:Tuly is a local nicknmae.
Ever been out in the Tulies?
I been there a time or 2.
This is our favorite route to take between New Mexico and
Missouri.
I can remember when 54 was so rough it would bounce you almost out
of your truck.
Major improvements have done this route well.
And we still continue to travel it often.
The Tularosa Basin has been occupied by Indian groups for
thousands of years. The first Hispanic settlers moved here from the
Rio Grande Valley in 1862.
Anglo settlers and cattlemen began moving into the region in the
1870s. The original 1862 town site has been designated a State and
National Historic District. Tularosa appears as "Oasis" in the
novels of Eugene Manlove Rhodes.
