Location
Teec Nos Pos Trading Post

The trading post is located, on the Navajo Nation, in an area known as the Four Corners, which is named for the point were the four States of Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico meet. In 1905 the original trading post was established in a canyon on the north side of the Carrizo Mountains. The canyon had a large stand of cottonwood trees and the community name of Teec Nos Pos (pronounced Tease-Nhas-phas) is an English variation on the Navajo words Tiis nazbas, which has a Navajo meaning of "circle of cottonwood trees". 

In 1959 the trading post was destroyed by fire and rebuilt at the current location, which was expected to be close to a proposed highway. Before this time the only access was a dirt road. The Teec Nos Pos Trading Post is on U.S.. highway 64 near (approximately 200 yd) the intersection with U.S.. Highway 160. This is less than 2 miles from the original community of Teec Nos Pos.
