This has been a farming community since 1699 when Juan Trujillo established a settlement named for San (Saint) Ysidro, the Farmer. The Village was incorporated in 1967. An annual San Ysidro Fiesta Day is held each year in mid-May.

San Ysidro is located at the junction of US 550 and NM 4. Travelers on these routes provide the Village with one of its major industries, highway commercial retail. In 1999, the weekday average traffic on US 550 south of the Village was 6,600. Agriculture, especially cattle ranching, is still an important activity in the surrounding area. Other employment in the area includes a gypsum mine just south of the Village and a maintenance/construction yard for the State Highway and Transportation Department.
