Bayard
Inscription
Population – 3036 Elevation – 6152 ft. Sites in the surrounding hills indicate that Indians of the Mogollón culture (A.D. 300 – 1450) lived here long before the Europeans. In the late 19th century, this was a stronghold of Apaches led by Victorio and Geronimo. Today Bayard, which was incorporated in 1925, lies in a great commercial mining region.
