New Mexico State University Parent Guide
Welcome to Las Cruces
Centuries ago, Spanish explorers brought their faith, culture, language and way of life to this land. Today, over 400 years later, our past is a living treasure alive in everything from our traditional architecture,
to our spicy cuisine and our unique artwork.
We are a great crossroads of Hispanic, Indian and American cultures, fertile river valleys and vast deserts. We are a relaxed southwestern city with a thriving economy based on agriculture, technology and education at New Mexico State University, making us one of the fastest growing cities in the United States.
