Alamogordo is a city in Otero County, New Mexico, situated in the Tularosa Basin with the Sacramento Mountains as its backdrop. The city's name comes from the Spanish words meaning "fat cottonwood tree."
Founded in 1898 as a railroad town, Alamogordo has strong historical connections to both the early American space program and military aviation, being close to Holloman Air Force Base. The city gained historical significance during World War II due to its proximity to the Trinity Site, where the first atomic bomb was tested.
Today, Alamogordo serves as an important center for military research and testing, while also maintaining various cultural institutions that preserve both its natural and scientific heritage. The region's unique geography and climate have influenced its development, with the nearby White Sands National Park being one of its most distinctive natural features.
