Amistad is an unincorporated community in Union County, New Mexico, United States. It is located approximately 39 miles south of Clayton on State Route 402.

History

Amistad was a stop for cattle drives during the late 19th century. In 1906, Henry S. Wannamaker, a Congregational minister, promoted homesteading by placing ads in church newspapers. This led to more than 40 older ministers staking claims in Amistad.[1] They formed "The Improvement Association" and named the community Amistad, after the Spanish word for friendship. A post office was established in 1907. At one time there were two newspapers in Amistad. The population declined in later years, but Amistad is still inhabited.[2]
