The Mora Land Grant, formally known as La Merced de Santa Gertrudis de lo de Mora, was an 1835 grant of more than 800,000 acres (320,000 ha) to 76 Hispanic settlers by the Mexican government of New Mexico. The land area within the grant was more than 60 miles (97 km) in length from east to west and a maximum of 25Read more
miles (40 km) in width from north to south, reaching from the crest of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the Great Plains. The grant was mostly in what became Mora County, New Mexico. The great majority of the land in the grant was designated as common land for the usage of all the residents. After the United States gained control of New Mexico in 1846, land speculators over decades gained control of the common land by legal machinations, thus excluding the residents from use of the land. Disputes about ownership between speculators and residents were frequent and persistent until the former commons land was auctioned in 1916 to the highest bidders.
Cattle ranchers and the National Forest system acquired most of the grant land during the 20th century. Disputes over the allocation of water needed for irrigation continued into the 21st century. Public access to former grant lands in public ownership also remains an issue.
