Sumner Lake State Park, featuring the 4,500-acre reservoir created by Sumner Dam, was established in 1960 as Alamogordo Reservoir and renamed in 1974, honoring the nearby Fort Sumner and its namesake, Col. Edmund Vose Sumner. We are pleased to provide you with greater transparency and a way to connect the community.
Thank you for visiting the brand new City of Fort Sumner, New Mexico website.
