Peoples of the Clovis culture inhabited the eastern New Mexico area during prehistoric times. Some anthropologically significant remains have been found at the Blackwater Draw site located south of Clovis, near Portales. Tourists are welcome to go to this historical location.

The city of Clovis was really established back in 1906, when several Santa Fe Railroad engineers picked this location for a townsite. It was called "Santa Fe Railroad." The daughter of the station master renamed it Clovis after the very first Catholic king of the Franks.

Agriculture and ranching has dominated the whole east-central New Mexico and west Texas regions. The main businesses in the region are peanut production, cotton farming and cattle ranching. The Clovis region has a number of processing plants for agricultural products, such as the Southwest Cheese Company plant that processes milk from local dairies. Located between Portales and the city of Clovis, the plant opened during 2005 and provides jobs to more than 200 residents of the area. This big plant processes into cheese more than 2.3 billion pounds of milk every year.

Allsup's convenience store headquarters are located within Clovis. This business provides a large number of jobs and is the city's biggest employer. Other major employers are the local Dillard's and Wal-Mart stores, together with many other smaller national and regional supermarket chains. Rail operations and transport have a lesser but still important impact on the local economy. The city's financial and business requirements are met by institutions such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo and regional financial institutions.

Clovis has fought to keep the Cannon Air Force Base in operation in many years. The Committee of Fifty is a local lobby group established to keep Cannon AFB open. Their efforts caused a realignment of Cannon as a special operations base.
