Welcome to Wagner ...

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

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


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

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

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

Wagner would have been located in the (505) area code.

Adding Wagner to Our Gazetteer ...

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

From that list, the Wagner 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 Wagner, 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 Torrance, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
