About Colorado Springs, Colorado

Colorado Springs is a city of 478,961 people and the seat of El Paso County, on Fountain Creek at the foot of Pikes Peak. The industrialist William Jackson Palmer founded it in 1871, when his Colorado Springs Company platted a settlement called Fountain Colony downstream from Colorado City and renamed it Colorado Springs later that year. Its post office opened on December 1, 1871, and Palmer offered land to any church willing to move its congregation here.

The older Colorado City had been organized in 1859, during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, and it was the capital of Colorado Territory from 1861 until the capital went to Golden in 1862. In 1873 the county seat moved from Colorado City to the new town. English settlers came in such numbers that locals nicknamed the place "Little London," and Colorado Springs was incorporated on June 19, 1886.

“COLORADO SPRINGS (5,900 alt., 33,237 pop.), seat of El Paso County, a tailor-made resort and residential city, lies on a broad rolling plain near the base of Pikes Peak.”

  • 275 mining brokersThe Broadmoor suburb, with its own casino, was developed by the Broadmoor Land Company and opened in 1891. Mining money poured through the city in those years, and by December 12, 1895, Colorado Springs had four mining exchanges and 275 mining brokers.
  • Tesla's lab on Knob HillLightning strikes this part of the country more often than almost anywhere else in the United States, and that is why Nikola Tesla chose Colorado Springs for his electrical experiments. His Tesla Experimental Station ran on Knob Hill from 1899 to 1901.
  • An Army camp in 1941The military came with World War II. Camp Carson opened in 1941 and grew into Fort Carson, a base of 135,000 acres, and the Army Air Forces named Peterson Field beside the city airport in December 1942. During the Cold War, NORAD set up its hardened command center inside Cheyenne Mountain, and the city donated the land for the Air Force Academy. In 1977 most of the old Ent Air Force Base became a U.S. Olympic training center.
  • The Waldo Canyon fireOn June 23, 2012, a wildfire broke out 4 miles northwest of the city. By the time it was over, it had destroyed 347 homes and killed two people in Colorado Springs, and 32,000 residents had been evacuated. It was the most destructive fire in Colorado history until the Black Forest Fire the next year.
