The population was 35,582 as of the 2000 census. Alamogordo is known for The Atari video game burial of 1983. Humans have lived in the Alamogordo area for at least 11,000 years. The current settlement established in 1898 to support the construction of the El Paso and Northeastern Railroad, is an early example of a planned community. The city was incorporated in 1912. Tourism became an important economic factor with the creation of White Sands National Monument in 1934. During the 1950-60s, Alamogordo was an unofficial center for research on pilot safety and the developing United States' space program.

By some estimates, Holloman accounts for half the economy of Alamogordo.

A city's gross receipts tax funds incentives for new businesses, which are recruited by the nonprofit Otero County Economic Development Council.
