Nara Visa is an unincorporated village and locus of a same-named census-designated place in Quay County, New Mexico, United States.

[5] Nara Visa traces its beginnings to brothers Sim and Fred McFarland of La Veta, Colorado.

When word came that the Rock Island Railroad would be building a track through the area, the McFarlands moved to a location near the proposed route.

[8] Henry F. King came to the site in November 1901 to be the first section foreman, when the town was founded.

He and his wife lived in a boxcar where they boarded trainmen, section men, and occasionally cowboys.
