About Fort Garland, Colorado
Fort Garland is a community of 464 people in Costilla County, in Colorado's San Luis Valley. The U.S. Army founded the post in June 1858, and its job was to guard white settlers against the Ute people. At the time, the valley still belonged to the New Mexico Territory, and the new fort replaced the older Fort Massachusetts.
Colorado Territory was organized on February 28, 1861, and a post office named Fort Garland, Colorado Territory, opened on February 25, 1862. The army stayed for twenty-five years. It left in 1883, after the tribes had been confined to reservations in Utah Territory and Colorado. Today the Fort Garland Museum keeps some of the old fort's buildings standing.
“The army quickly picked a valley location right on the trails coming over Sangre de Cristo Pass and La Veta Pass, with clear views in all directions, and built a new fort, called Fort Garland.”
- A peace that held to 1879Carson left Fort Garland in October 1867. The peace he had made outlasted his time at the fort, and in the San Luis Valley it held until 1879.
- Gateway to the San Luis ValleyFort Garland is the first town that westbound travelers reach after crossing the Sangre de Cristo Range by way of La Veta Pass, so it is known as the Gateway to the San Luis Valley. It sits at 7,943 feet, where U.S. Route 160 meets Colorado State Highway 159, the road south toward Taos and Santa Fe.
- The Band Jam every JulyEach summer, usually in mid-July, the Annual Fort Garland Band Jam Music Festival brings in local and regional players along with nationally and internationally known acts. The music runs from traditional Spanish guitar to R&B and rock and roll. The festival also has an open-air market, food vendors, a beer garden and activities for children.
