History of Las Cruces

or a Downtown Pedestrian Mall. The original covered walkways are now being removed in favor of a more traditional main street thoroughfare.

The origin of the city's name is unknown. In Spanish "Las Cruces" means "the crosses." (Some have claimed an alternative meaning of "the crossroads" but this is grammatically implausible, as "cruce", the singular form of crossroad, is masculine and the phrase would be "Los Cruces".)

Both the Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre and the film A Nightmare In Las Cruces occurred in Las Cruces
