U.S. Decennial Census[4][2] |
The CDP is located along Interstate 25 near the Pecos National Historical Park, at an elevation of 6,821 feet (2,079 m).
Rowe was established to provide labor for the Santa Fe Railroad in the late 1870s and early 1880s. The majority of the population came from Las Ruedas 2 miles (3.2 km) away on the Pecos River. A pipeline to provide water for steam engines was laid between Rowe and the then village of Las Ruedas. Las Ruedas ceased to exist and by the time of the 1880 U.S. Federal Census most of the former residents of Las Ruedas were resettled in Rowe.
The old Las Ruedas townsite is privately owned.
It is within Pecos Independent Schools.[5]
As of 2001[update] a bookmobile served the community but it had no permanent library facility.[6]
The Native American Preparatory School operated in the nearby area, in proximity to South San Ysidro,[7] from 1995 until it closed in 2002.[8]
Petitioner also acknowledges that Rowe has no public library but points out that it is served bi-weekly by the State mobile library.
The gate to the Native American Preparatory School is about 1/3 mile past the Village of South San Ysidro.
