History
In an election held on January 5, 2010, Anthony residents voted in favor of incorporating the community. A total of 561 votes were cast, with 410 (73.1%) supporting the measure and 151 (26.9%) opposed. The new municipality officially came into existence on July 1, 2010. On January 18, 2024 the city of Anthony board of trustees passed a resolution of "no confidence" against its mayor and Doña Ana County commissioner Diana Murillo. The board concluded that she was mismanaging city funds and that her administration was "a detriment to the well-being of the city, its residents and city employees.". In March 2024, Murillo was ordered to repay $24,000 of taxpayers funds she used for a personal legal battle. In October, Murillo faced further backlash for allegedly leaving the city without legal council for months.
