  • Garita, also known as Variadero, is an unincorporated community located in San Miguel County, New Mexico, United States. The community is located on New Mexico State Road 104 where it crosses the . It was founded in 1872 by Jesús Angel, a settler from Bernal. Garita has a post office with ZIP code 88421, which opened on January 19, 1907; the post office used the name Variadero intermittently until the 1920s. The community's two names both come from Spanish terms; Variadero derives from variar, meaning "to change", due to the changes in the river's course, while Garita means "lookout" or "government building". Variadero was initially called "Estrada" after the first settler, Jose Laureano Estrada, who made a permanent home along the Conchas Arroyo around the time of the Civil War. Jose Laureano is buried at the Catholic Cemetery across highway 104 from the Catholic Church in Variadero. His wife Filomena Estrada de Madrid is buried at his side. The gravemarker is still visible for both of them and his reads "Jose Laureano Estrada, 1835 - 1898, The first settler of Variadero." Garita was settled as stated above. Garita, however, was the name given to the huge square blocks of sandstone about eight miles southeast of Variadero along highway 104 which reminded early settlers of a garita which is "sentry post" in Spanish. A small arroyo about a quarter mile northwest of the garita was named the Garita Creek. Later settlers made homes to the west, along the Garita Creek and a small community in that area was known as Garita. When Postal services were combined, the area developed the dual names of Garita and Variadero. (en)
  • Garita, conosciuta anche come Variadero, è una comunità non incorporata (unincorporated community) della contea di San Miguel nel Nuovo Messico, negli Stati Uniti. La comunità si trova sulla , dove attraversa il . Fu fondata nel 1872 da Jesús Angel, un colono di . Garita ha un ufficio postale con ZIP code 88421, aperto il 19 gennaio 1907; l'ufficio postale ha usato il nome Variadero in modo intermittente fino agli anni 1920. I due nomi della comunità provengono entrambi da termini spagnoli; Variadero deriva da variar, che significa "cambiare", a causa dei cambiamenti nel corso del fiume, mentre Garita significa "vedetta" o "edificio governativo". Inizialmente Variadero era chiamata "Estrada" dal primo colono, Jose Laureano Estrada, che durante il periodo della guerra civile costruì un'abitazione temporanea lungo il Conchas Arroyo. Jose Laureano è sepolto nel cimitero cattolico attraverso l'autostrada 104 dalla chiesa cattolica a Variadero. Sua moglie Filomena Estrada de Madrid è sepolta al suo fianco. La lapide è ancora visibile per entrambi e recita "Jose Laureano Estrada, 1835-1898, il primo colono di Variadero". Garita quindi fu colonizzata come già detto prima. Garita, tuttavia, era il nome dato agli enormi blocchi quadrati di arenaria a circa otto miglia a sud-est di Variadero lungo l'autostrada 104 che ricordava ai primi coloni una garita che è "posta di sentinella" in spagnolo. Un piccolo arroyo a circa un quarto di miglio a nord-ovest della garita venne chiamato Garita Creek. Successivamente i coloni spostarono le loro abitazioni ad ovest, lungo il Garita Creek e una piccola comunità in quell'area era conosciuta come Garita. Quando i servizi postali furono uniti, l'area era chiamata sia Garita che Variadero. (it)
