New Mexico ghost town From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Añal is a ghost town in De Baca County, in the U.S. state of New Mexico. Añal was located between Alamo and Fort Sumner, on the Arroyo de Añil — a tributary of the Pecos River — after which it is named,[1] but the town's precise location is unknown to the GNIS.[2]
The etymon 'añil' refers to sunflowers in New Mexican Spanish. A post office called Anal (without the tilde) was established in 1916, and remained in operation until 1934.[3] It was an unknown postmaster who first transcribed the name without i, according to an eye dialect.
