About Pecos
Pecos is a village in San Miguel County, New Mexico, United States. As of the 2020 census, Pecos had a population of 1,392. The village has been shrinking slower than other parts of San Miguel County, partly because Pecos is within commuting distance of Santa Fe. The village is built along the Pecos River, which flows from the north out of the Santa Fe National Forest.
