Southwest Heights
Originally, eight separate plazas, Belen eventually evolved into two sections—Old Town and New Town. In 1886, the sleepy Spanish town reinvented itself when the railroad came, bringing with it connections to Denver, Chicago, El Paso and Los Angeles, making Belen, “The Hub City,” a new nickname for New Mexico’s little town of Bethlehem.
