Located along the banks of the Pecos River, Carlsbad was originally
christened the Town of Eddy on September 15, 1888 and organized as a
municipal corporation in 1893. With the improvement of the mineral
springs with their valuable medicinal qualities north of town, the
town changed the name to Carlsbad, after the famous European spa,
Karlsbad. On March 25, 1918, the Governor proclaimed Carlsbad as a
city.
With the discovery of the "Bat Cave" in 1901 and the establishment
of the Carlsbad Caverns National Park on May 14, 1930, Carlsbad
gained international recognition.
There are six rivers,and both saltwater and freshwater playa systems
abut mountain fronts and escarpments. In addition to the surprising
riparian systems, Carlsbad BLM has one of the largest oil and gas
programs in the nation. The public lands managed by the Carlsbad
office sit in the Permian Basin, which produces 95% of the crude oil
that comes out of New Mexico, and is the largest oil producing
office in the nation. Half of the royalties received by the BLM from
the energy leases go directly to the State of New Mexico, supporting
educational programs as well as other state funded needs. Along with
this energy resource, the office has the only potash - used as
fertilizer for citrus groves - program in the country.
Not only are the habitat and economic opportunities outstanding, the
field office also offers numerous outdoor recreation opportunities.
Everything from mountain biking to hunting and fishing, hiking to
off-highway vehicle use, can be found in the Carlsbad Field Office.
The areaalso boasts over 250 known caves, and supplies one of the
world's most renowned caving areas.
