Rosedale
Gold was first discovered in the San Mateo Mountains near Big Rosa Canyon in 1882. Over the next few years, it seems everyone who attempted to develop the claims were either killed or left running for their lives by Apache Indians. Two soldiers from Fort Craig are known to have been killed in the Rosedale area. This was the last days of the so-called Indian Wars and depredations by the Apache. By the mid-1890s, the claims at Big Rosa Canyon were worked in earnest, quickly yielding profitable gold. In no time, the mining district grew and the small town of mine shacks was named Rosedale. The two largest mines were the Golden Bell and Rosedale Mines. Smaller workings were the Lane, Robb and Reinhardt prospects.Located about 25 miles southwest of Magdalena, Rosedale began to grow from a handful of tents and tarpapered mining shacks to a respectable town with a school, store, a bar or two, and a boarding house. The Post Office was established in 1899. In1900, the population was a bit over 200 persons.
