Local Scouter, Businessman, and Conquistador Council member Jack Maddox approached the City of Hobbs to purchase the property for the Conquistador Council. Named after a long-time Scouter, former president of the Conquistador Council, Lea County Businessman, and former lieutenant governor of New Mexico, James "Jim" Murray Sr.
