The name of La Junta is pronounced la hunta and is of Spanish origin. It means a junction or meeting place where roads or paths meet or diverge. The area was established in late 1875 as a stop on the Santa Fe Railroad. The city of La Junta was incorporated on 15 May 1881. During the prime of the railroad, La Junta was a major hub for produce and cattle shipments. With the decline of the railroad in the area, local residents used much wisdom in bringing new light industry and other business to La Junta to avoid becoming one of the rail "ghost towns."
