==History==
In 1901, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad built a construction camp in the western portion of modern-day Quay County. Originally called Ragtown, the camp became known as Six Shooter Siding, due to numerous gunfights. Its first formal name, Douglas, was used only for a short time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=New Mexico Office of the State Historian )〕 After it grew into a permanent settlement, it was renamed Tucumcari in 1908. The name was taken from Tucumcari Mountain, which is situated near the community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Southwest Collection Library )〕 Where the mountain got its name is uncertain. It may have come from the Comanche word ''tʉkamʉkarʉ'', which means 'ambush'.〔Lila Wistrand-Robinson & James Armagost. ''Comanche Dictionary and Grammar'', 2nd edition (2012, Summer Institute of Linguistics).〕 A 1777 burial record mentions a Comanche woman and her child captured in a battle at Cuchuncari, which is believed to be an early version of the name Tucumcari.〔〔"Cuchuncari", however, is from Old Comanche ''kuhtsunkarɨ'' 'buffalo sitting'.〕
In December 1951, a water storage tank collapsed in the city. Four were killed and numerous buildings were destroyed.
