NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA LAND
COMPANY, LLC
New Mexico and Arizona Land Company
traced its beginning to the period of 19th Century transcontinental railroad
building. In 1866, Congress chartered the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
Company (the "A&P") to construct the first southern railroad route across
the United States. It was to run from Springfield, Missouri to the Pacific
Coast. The federal charter provided for land grants to be carved out of the
public domain lands for the the successful railroad builder. After a number
of false starts, the A&P came to be purchased in bankruptcy proceedings by
venture capitalists under the new-start name of the St. Louis-San Francisco
Railway Company, commonly called the "Frisco."
