Artesia is a city located in the southeast corner of New Mexico. The town was named “Artesia” to capitalize on the abundant water available, which was a visual and agricultural attraction to early settlers until the early 1920s. Since then, the discovery of oil became a top selling point for settlers, leading to Artesia’s flourishing current-day oil and gas industry, along with farming and ranching. The logo on the city’s water tank was coated in Tnemec Series 700 HydroFlon.
