History
Hatch was originally established by New Mexican farmers in 1851 along the road between the Jornada del Muerto and Cooke's Wagon Road, northwest of the San Diego Crossing, until Apache raids drove them away. In 1853, Fort Thorn was constructed to protect the area from similar raids, and the settlement was re-established. The fort closed in 1859, and the town was abandoned again in 1860 in the face of resumed raiding. In 1875, the area was reoccupied, this time named "Hatch" for Edward Hatch, who was then of the military District of New Mexico.
