Mesilla, New Mexico, known as Little Tableland, is a historic community that has significantly shaped the economic, cultural, historical, and political landscape of the Mesilla Valley since its inception around 1848. With a population of nearly 2,200, many residents are descendants of the original settlers, preserving the rich heritage that blends Indian, Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo-American influences.

The town is characterized by its traditional adobe structures, which reflect a long and significant history that includes events such as the Gadsden Purchase, the Civil War, and the trial of Billy the Kid. This unique architectural landscape serves as a reminder of Mesilla's vibrant past, making it a prominent cultural center in Southern New Mexico.
