Clovis, County seat of Curry County in New Mexico, United States
Located at an elevation of 1301 meters, Clovis extends across the eastern New Mexico plains near the Texas border.
The Santa Fe Railway engineers established Clovis in 1906, transforming the site known as Riley's Switch into a railroad center.
The name Clovis originates from a railroad official's daughter who studied the history of King Clovis, the first Christian king of France.
Cannon Air Force Base, the Santa Fe Railroad, and agricultural industries form the primary economic foundations of this New Mexico city.
The city maintains strong connections with Cannon Air Force Base through Operation Keep Cannon, displaying support banners throughout the streets.
