About Sofia, NM

Sofia is a small unincorporated community in Union County, northeast New Mexico, United States. It lies at 36°27′07″N 103°49′44″W  /  36.452°N 103.829°W  / 36.452; -103.829 , at an elevation of 6,220 feet (1,900 m). Sofia, named after the Bulgarian capital Sofia, was established in 1911 as the oldest Bulgarian agricultural colony in the United States. The community's founders were brothers Dimitar and Ivan Kostadinov who leased 320 acres (1.3 km 2; 0.50 sq mi) of land. In 1912, the name of the colony was chosen on a meeting; alternatives that were considered were Georgetown and Tarnovo (after the medieval Bulgarian capital).
