The locale was originally named by the Spanish colonizers of New Mexico, El Aleman (The German), a small watering place on the Jornada del Muerto, named for a German trader fleeing from the Inquisition in Santa Fe, who died at that place, giving it that name. It was later the location of the earliest settlements on that route.

In the later 19th century it became the headquarters of the Aleman Ranch.

Now known as Aleman.

El Aleman, was located 7.968 leagues (17.0 miles) north of Paraje del Perrillo.
