Arrey, New Mexico
Arrey is a census-designated place in Sierra County, New Mexico, United States. It lies about 22 miles (35.4 km) south of Truth or Consequences. As of the 2010 census, its population was 232.[4]
In 1890, the town was founded as Bonito when several Hispanic families made a deal with a cattle agent to settle here. The land was then deeded to the Butte Land and Cattle Company after the land was proved. In 1901 a post office was established, with Urbano Arrey, who gave his name to the community, as the first postmaster. Today descendants of the original homesteaders still live in the community.[5]
