The Borrego Pass Trading Post, at Borrego Pass, New Mexico, is a historic trading post. The post and associated structures and sites were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Borrego Pass Trading Post Historic District in 2012.[1] It includes, or has also been known as, the Ben Harvey Trading Post.[1] The listing was for a 12 acres (4.9 ha) historic district which included 11 contributing buildings, two contributing structures, and four contributing sites.[1]
It is a traditional Navajo trading post, significant also for association with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; like many trading posts it was operated by Anglos, and mainly served Navajos. The Borrego Pass Trading Post was established in 1927 by Ben and Anna Harvey.[2]
The Borrego Pass community formed around the trading post which was opened in 1927 and was first operated by Ben and Anna Harvey,[3] and then starting in 1935 by Bill and Jean Cousins.[4] It was sold in 1939 to Don and Fern Smouse who operated it for over forty years. The trading post was named after the nearby Borrego Pass[5] an ancient water gap, across the Continental Divide,[6] that cuts into the Dutton Plateau.[7]
It was recommended for National Register listing in 2010.[2]
