A little History of Aragon:

Aragon is on the site of former Fort Tularosa, which was built in 1870 to protect the Apache Indian Agency from the Ojo Caliente Band of Apaches. The fort was abandoned when the tribe was moved back to the Ojo Caliente reservation in 1874. The fort was rebuilt in 1880 by Buffalo Soldiers led by Sergeant George Jordan. Jordan eventually received the Medal of Honor for leading 25 men to repulse a force of more than 100 Indians in the Battle of Fort Tularosa.

The only remaining evidence of the Fort is a burial ground for soldiers who served in the Arizona Territory.

The town was known as Joseph from 1887 to 1898 and 1901 to 1906. Since 1906 it has been known as Aragon, named for an old Spanish family who still lives in the area. Near Aragon, on the north side of Tularosa Canyon, a cave was occupied from 400 B.C. to A.D. 1100, containing pits and later masonry rooms.
