Torrance County, County seat in central New Mexico, United States

Torrance County spans across 8,670 square kilometers of land in New Mexico, with Estancia as its administrative center at 1,862 meters elevation.

The region transformed from a remote territory to an established county in 1903, when Estancia became its governmental center following railway developments.

The Arthur Park serves as a central gathering place for residents, offering fishing opportunities, sports facilities, and spaces for community celebrations.

New Mexico State Route 41 connects Estancia to major transportation networks, while the Municipal Airport provides additional access to the county seat.

The Torrance County Detention Facility expanded from 286 to 910 beds in 1997, becoming a substantial employer and revenue source for the region.
