The Victor Land and Cattle Company purchased the Cloverdale Ranch and as other ranches were formed the community grew to a population near 200 people. Cloverdale had the destinction of having the Southern most Post Office in New Mexico (1912-1943). The old store (built in 1918) is the remaining building for the town and is privately owned. There is parking at the site.
