During the mid-19th century, several water-powered gristmills were built along the Mora River to process the vast quantities of wheat harvested in the valley. Known as the Valley of the Mills, this region supplied much of the flour and other grains required by the military at Fort Union and travelers along the Santa Fe Trail.
