About Gallup

A town in the western corner of the state near the border with Utah, Gallup, New Mexico, is home to around 20,000 residents, conveniently located just off I-40. The town is the county seat of McKinley County, about 140 miles west of Albuquerque, and the largest city between there and Flagstaff, Arizona. Those in search of a house for rent or an apartment for rent will find a rich history of a railroad town, as Gallup was founded in 1891 as a railhead for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. Red Rock Museum and a number of historic sites can be viewed for learning more about the history of the area. The town has a large Native American presence, with Navajo, Zuni, Hopi and other tribes represented. One-third of the city's population has Native American roots. The town is just west of Fort Wingate Military Reservation, where many are employed, and the Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital and Gallup Indian Medical Center are major employers as well. University of New Mexico’s Gallup campus here has an enrollment of about 1,500 students, and those with children in search of a house for rent or an apartment for rent can find seven elementary schools, two middle schools (6-7), a junior high (8-9) and Gallup High School.
