In 1581, Capitan Franciso Sanchez Chamuscado took possession of this region for the King of Spain naming it Ojo de Zoquete (mud spring) in the province of San Felipe. Native Americans first used these springs for healing; in early 20th century, European-Americans setteled here and named it Hot Springs. Truth or Consequences ("T or C") took its present name in 1951 in response to a contest from Ralph Edwards' popular radio program.
