Anaconda, New Mexico

Anaconda, New Mexico

Anaconda was a small mining community that came into existence in the early 1950s when the Anaconda Copper Company of Butte, Montana opened up a Uranium Ore Processing Plant 10 miles northwest of Grants, New Mexico. Anaconda was the site of somewhere around 100 homes for the Supervior's or then management of the company. The Mill was also located on the same property. Many of the homes were built using "radioactive" material from the plant and eventually had to be torn down. The Mill closed sometime in the 70's and the housing was removed and the land reclaimed during the next 20 years. Presently there is little to show that the area was once a nice little community.
