Inez is an unincorporated community and ghost town located in Roosevelt County in the U.S. state of New Mexico. It was entered into the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) on November 13, 1981. The community is located approximately 20 miles southwest of Portales, and is said to be named by the first postmaster Evin P. Williams after Inez Mullins, an early resident of the settlement.
Buildings The community is home to Inez Cemetery, as well as the Inez Methodist Church, organized in 1909. Additionally, the first post office in Inez was established on February 28, 1908, which is said to have been discontinued sometime in 1930; however, no official records corroborate this claim. Very little remains of the ghost town.
