Tucumcari Mountain, once referred to as Tucumcari Peak, is a mesa situated just outside of Tucumcari, New Mexico.[1]
Pedro Vial mentioned the mountain in 1793, while opening a trail between Santa Fe and St. Louis. Captain Randolph B. Marcy led an expedition past it in 1849.[2]
The city of Tucumcari, which was founded in 1901, takes its name—both in real life and in legend—from the mountain.[3]
