Welcome to Harris ...

So far, we found very little information about Harris. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Harris to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Harris - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Harris, please Contact Us.


While we don't have the exact location of Harris , we believe that it would have been located within present day Quay County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Harris, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1908.

Time Zone: The area where Harris was located is in the Mountain Time Zone (MST/MDT) and observes daylight saving time

The location where Harris once stood is in the (575) area code.

Adding Harris to Our Gazetteer ...

We originally found mention of Harris in the GNIS. For more information, see the Referenced GNIS Codes section on our Miscellaneous Page.

From our notes, the earliest published mention we've found for Harris was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Harris post office opened in 1908.

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Harris, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of New Mexico's counties, including Quay, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
