Many incidents in the Lincoln County War, 1876-1879, occurred in the area around Capit?n. The promoters Charles B. and John A. Eddy platted the townsite in 1900, after building a spur of the El Paso & Northeastern Railroad from Carrizozo in order to open the Salado coal fields. The mines were abandoned in 1901.HM Number | HMUWS |
