Montoya is an unincorporated community on the route of historic Route 66 in Quay County, New Mexico, United States. [1] It is the site of the Richardson Store, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [2] Montoya was founded as a railroad stop and loading point in 1902. [3]
The roadway became part of the famous Route 66. The store thrived in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. [2] Interstate 40 came through, a few hundred yards to the south, in 1956. Although there is an exit, the speed of traffic greatly reduced stops, and the store and Montoya declined. The store eventually closed and has been vacant for many years. [2]
