History

Old Horse Springs had a post office from 1879-82. The town's name originated when soldiers traveling from Fort Tularosa to Socorro lost a horse. Apparently they found it at the natural hot springs approximately .5 miles west of the settlement. The original community of Horse Springs is now labeled Old Horse Springs and is two miles west of New Horse Springs.[1]
