At an elevation of just over 5,700 feet, the community was named after the word glen, a Scottish term for a valley, and the Coe family, including outlaws George Coe and Frank Coe. The Coe family began settling in the area around 1880 after moving south from Las Vegas, Nevada and working the Santa Fe Trail throughout the 1870s.
An unincorporated town between San Patricio and Ruidoso Downs, Glencoe is just a blink away from a travellers final destination. A visit to the nearby Fruit Stand might yield a tasty bounty for your trip.
