Hermosa is a ghost town in Sierra County, New Mexico, United States. It was founded in 1883 by miners and grew to a town that had its own literary society. In 1889, Hermosa was hit by a devastating flash flood and never recovered. All that remains today is a mercantile, a hotel, and a log post office. It is currently part of a privately-owned ranch.
