Valmora is a former unincorporated community located in Mora County, New Mexico, United States, located along New Mexico State Road 97, east-northeast of Watrous. State Road 446, the shortest state road in New Mexico at, links the community to State Road 97.[2]
Since 2017, it has been the site of a privately owned holistic retreat center.
The name "Valmora" is a manufactured word, meaning "in the valley of the Mora river."[3] It was founded in 1916 as a community serving a tuberculosis sanitarium, long since closed.[4] Because of this, however, in 1995 Valmora was added to the registry of National Historic Places.
