Gladstone is an unincorporated layover in Union County, New Mexico, United States, founded in 1880. [1] It lies at the intersection of US Route 56 and Union County Road C001.

[2] He named it in honor of William Ewart Gladstone, a Liberal politician and the British Prime Minister at the time. A fair number of settlers came to Gladstone, but many left disillusioned shortly thereafter. [1]
