Luna County, New Mexico

Luna County sits right on the Mexican border in southern New Mexico. Deming is the county seat. It’s known for its pure water. Seriously, they have water-tasting contests.
The Florida Mountains rise up from the desert floor. They’re like islands in a sea of sand and creosote. This place has history. Ancient peoples lived here thousands of years ago.
Now, it’s chile pepper country. Farms stretch for miles. The name “Luna” means moon in Spanish. It fits. But the county is actually named for Solomon Luna, a local politician and rancher.
