La Cueva Historic District, Historic ranch district in Mora County, United States

La Cueva Historic District is a ranch complex in Mora County containing five buildings from the 1800s. The site includes a mill, a trading post, an adobe residence, outbuildings, and a chapel.

Vicente Romero founded the La Cueva Ranch in 1851 based on the Mora Land Grant. The property later became known for milling operations that served the surrounding settlements.

San Rafael Church is one of the five contributing buildings of the district listed on the National Register in 1973. The district also holds a two-story stone and adobe mill, probably built in the 1870s, a mercantile store, storage buildings, and the 1850s Romero ranch house with its outbuildings.

The district is located in a rural setting near Mora and is best reached by car. The buildings can be viewed from outside, and the surrounding landscape offers quiet spaces to explore.

The district's five contributing buildings sit on 47 acres at the junction of New Mexico State Roads 3 and 21, about 6 miles southeast of Mora. The listing was added to the National Register in 1973, and the district is also listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties.
