Historical Marker

Located twenty minutes north of Magdalena, Riley was a small agricultural village originally named Santa Rita by its Hispanic founders in the mid-19th century. During the late 1880s mining became an important part of the town's economy. When the mines gave out, the town was slowly abandoned.
