The Board of County Commissioners is Alamosa County's governing body. There are three members of the Board, each elected to four-year terms. Terms are staggered so that no more than two commissioners are elected at the same time. The Board is charged with setting policy to guide county programs that serve residents and businesses in Alamosa County.

The Alamosa County Board of Commissioners typically meets the second and last Wednesday of each month.

In June 1878, the City of Alamosa went from a tent City, to a rail center for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad.  According to local legend, the rail crews were fed in Garland City in the morning, then the building was placed on a flat car and the crews were fed dinner from the same building in Alamosa that night. Many of the City’s first buildings were brought in whole, on railroad flat cars. Alamosa was incorporated on August 30, 1878. Alamosa, which means “cottonwood” in Spanish, is the hub of the San Luis Valley for retail and services.
