The History Of Angel Fire New Mexico
A Four-Season Community In The Majestic Moreno Valley And
Located In Beautiful Northern New Mexico

Legend has it that Moache Utes once gathered in
the area and described the glow against Agua Fria Peak
as the "fire of the gods." Traveling Franciscan friars interpreted the name as the "place of the fire
of angels."

In 1845 Lucien Maxwell and "Kit" Carson, coined the phrase "Angel Fire." Before 1864, when Maxwell acquired full rights to the 1.7 million-acre land grant, the Moreno Valley was pasture and hunting land occupied mostly by the Utes and Jicarilla Apaches.

In 1867, however, everything changed when gold was discovered. Within a year, fortune hunters flooded the area and as they say, the rest
is history.
