Pancho Villa State Park is a historic landmark near Deming that was established in 1975 to remember the 1916 raid on the city of Columbus by a Mexican general, Francisco “Pancho” Villa. The city was home to Camp Furlong, which became important overnight (following the raid) as a center for guarding against further attacks and mounting a counterstrike across the border in Mexican territory. The strike occurred at the same time as the Mexican Revolution, and Camp Furlong continued to be an important installation, helping to drive Pancho Villa's troops out of Ciudad Juarez in the summer of 1919.

Today the park consists of the remaining buildings that weren't destroyed by Pancho Villa and the counter strike facilities used by American forces. A U.S. Customs house built in 1902 is the site of the park's visitors center and where you'll find exhibits demonstrating the invasion and retaliation. Columbus' historic district includes Pancho Villa State Park and an airfield to the east of the park, a railway station now used to maintain a historical society museum, and the former Hoover Hotel. Camping near Pancho Villa State Park is your invitation to experience this magnificent site.
