The Regulators were one of the opposing sides in the historic Lincoln County War that took place in Old Western New Mexico in 1878. The legendary outlaw Billy the Kid, also known as William H. Bonney and by his real name Henry McCarty, was one of the key members of the Lincoln County War as one of the most impactful members of The Regulators.
