Antelope Wells is a small unincorporated community in Hidalgo County, New Mexico, United States.
Today there are neither pronghorn (known regionally as antelopes) nor water wells in the area, but a local intermittent pond may have supported a population priorly.
[4] In 1981, the community had a population of two, living in trailers behind the customs station, and averaged three people entering per day.
[4] Including domestic and international travelers, fewer than 500 buses and privately owned vehicles pass through the community each month, though traffic has been increasing as of 2006 with more international shuttle van service.
[6] Antelope Wells was the official southern terminus of the 3,100-mile (5,000 km) long Continental Divide Trail until it was relocated to Crazy Cook, east of the nearby Hatchet Mountains in the mid-1990s[7] and remains the location of the 2,745-mile (4,418 km) long Great Divide Mountain Bike Route.
