Carlsbad is a city located in southeastern New Mexico, known primarily for its proximity to the famous Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The city, established in the late 19th century, was originally called Eddy but was renamed Carlsbad in 1899 after the famous European spa town Karlsbad, due to the presence of nearby mineral springs with similar properties.
The area has a rich cultural heritage influenced by Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo-American traditions. While the city's economy was historically based on mineral extraction and agriculture, today it also serves as a gateway for tourists exploring the region's natural wonders. The downtown area features several historic buildings that reflect the city's development throughout the 20th century, and the local community maintains strong ties to both its ranching heritage and its role in supporting scientific research through the nearby Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
