Welcome to the City of Socorro's web site -- the next best thing to actually being here.  As you browse through the site, you'll notice that at the city we celebrate history, technology, birds, and balloons, desert sands and enchanted skies.  The City of Socorro is home to wildlife refuges, radio telescopes, a mineral museum, a university, a historical mission (church), a performing arts series as well as numerous other facilities and events.

The City of Socorro is a friendly community situated in central New Mexico, whose quality of life has attracted many families to relocate and enticed many local families to stay.  Those who chose to live here are here because they want to be.  Our weather allows year-round outdoor activities including golf, biking, hiking, rock hounding, rock climbing as well as many other outdoor activities.

As Mayor of Socorro, it is my personal and public goal to continue to make Socorro a great place to live, work and raise a family.  We are continuously improving the quality of life in our small town for the enjoyment of both our citizens and our visitors.

Once you experience our attractions and events, you'll find yourself deciding to stay a little longer, and you'll be glad you did.

Mayor Ravi Bhasker
