Cultural Heart of Native America
Gallup (pop. ~21,900) lies in McKinley County on historic Route 66, often called the "Heart of Indian Country." It’s surrounded by Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi lands, and celebrates indigenous heritage with world-class artisan jewelry, murals, and cultural institutions like the Gallup Cultural Center and Storyteller Museum 

Vibrant Arts & Route 66 Charm
Downtown Gallup is dotted with public art and murals reflecting its rich Native American history, alongside historic theaters like El Morro and Chief Theater, and landmarks like the iconic El Rancho Hotel—once a playground for Hollywood stars.

Outdoor & Family-Friendly Lifestyle
Gallup offers 23 public parks, hiking and biking trails in nearby Red Rock Park and the Zuni Mountains, ATV and rock-climbing facilities, and an 18-hole golf course. Annual events like rodeos, mural walks, and summer Indian dances bring the community together.

Strong Community Appeal
Affordable family living and a welcoming small town environment make Gallup a unique place to live and practice. It draws visitors for its authentic atmosphere—from trading posts and flea markets to hot air balloon rides over red sandstone canyons.
