Madrid (/ˈmædrɪd/, Spanish: [maˈðɾið]) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, United States. It is portion of the Santa Fe, New Mexico Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 149 at the 2000 census and 204 in 2010. Today, Madrid has become an artists’ community later galleries lining New Mexico State Road 14 (the Turquoise Trail). It retains remnants of its history taking into account the Mineshaft Tavern and the Coal Mine Museum.

Lead mines in the area around Madrid captured the captivation of Roque Madrid in the 17th century. It is indefinite whether the current say of the community comes from that of earlier residents or the capital of Spain. The dominant English pronunciation of the pronounce differs from that of the Spanish capital, with emphasis on the first syllable: MAD-rid. Coal mining began in the area around 1835.

The coal deposits were called the Cerrillos Coal Bank bearing in mind the coming on in to the lead 1880 of the New Mexico & Southern Pacific Railroad (as the AT&SF in New Mexico was organized), named after the affable mining and railroad town of Cerrillos Station. After a dozen years at the Coal Bank of wildcat, unpermitted, and unorganized mining the AT&SF acquired the property upon December 10, 1891, and through purposefully-created subsidiaries solidified its control. The Cerrillos Coal & Iron Co. developed the layout for the town, mines, and facilities, and the Cerrillos Coal Railroad Co. built the 6.25 mi (10.06 km) standard gauge spur from the AT&SF main lineage at Waldo Junction.

In late August 1892, the spur finally terminated at the relatively extra mining camp of Keeseeville (an illegal trespass settlement, however one whose 20-acre plat had been certified by Santa Fe County). At the site of Keeseeville, which the Cerrillos Coal Railroad co-opted, the town of Madrid was built. More accurately the Cerrillos Coal Railroad transported-in, section by section, prefabricated wooden miner’s cabins from as far as Topeka, Kansas; there were insufficient carpenters and suppliers in the region to pay for the instant infrastructure that was needed for the town.
