In New Mexico, the history of US 64 date back to the frontier days. In 1912, the New Mexico State Highway System was formed. The route between Shiprock and the Arizona border didn't exist yet. Likewise, the highway between Taos and Tierra Amarilla wasn't constructed yet either, nor did the highway heading northeast out of Clayton into Oklahoma. The route between Clayton and Raton was part of New Mexico State Road 37 (NM 37). The route between Cimarron and Raton was served by NM 21 while NM 33 ran between Cimarron and Taos. The route from Tierra Amarilla to Monero was designated NM 36. Lastly, the route between Blanco was designated as NM 35 and NM 32.[1]
When originally designated on November 11, 1926, U.S. Route 64 (US 64) had its western terminus at US 385 in Capulin, New Mexico.[2] In 1933, US 64 had been extended to end at US 85 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, replacing all of the previously designated US 485 between Raton and Santa Fe, through Taos.[3][2] On November 11, 1972, US 64 was truncated from Santa Fe to Taos, then extended west through Tres Piedras, Brazos, Monero and Bloomfield to US 550 in Farmington.[4] The new routing replaced all of New Mexico State Road 111 (NM 111) and NM 553 between Taos and Tierra Amarilla. US 64 now shared a concurrency with US 84 between Tierra Amarilla and a highway junction 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Monero. US 64 then replaced all of NM 17 between US 84 and US 550 in Farmington.[5][2] On December 2, 1988, or sometime after that date, US 64 was further extended over Arizona State Route 504 and New Mexico State Road 504 to a junction with US 160 in Teec Nos Pos, Arizona near Four Corners.[6][7] Today, the western terminus of US 64 remains at Teec Nos Pos.[8]
