In 1862, William B. Tipton built his home one-half mile west of here. By 1870, he had laid out the town of Tiptonville along the banks of the Mora River. The town served as a stopover and meeting place for Santa Fe Trail travelers and soldiers from Fort Union. It boasted a mission school, Masonic Lodge and a post office.
