Archuleta County is located in the southwestern part of the state of Colorado. Established on April 14, 1885, it was carved out of the western portion of Conejos county. The county is named after Jose Manuel Archuleta, who was a prominent figure during the early settlement years in Colorado and served as lieutenant governor when the territory was part of New Mexico.
The region that is now Archuleta County was originally inhabited by the Ancestral Puebloans, an ancient Native American culture that thrived from 100 AD to 1300 AD. Evidence of these ancient peoples can still be found in the form of petroglyphs and ruins throughout the area. Later on, the Ute and Navajo tribes inhabited the region.
When European settlers arrived in the region in the 18th and 19th centuries, they predominantly engaged in mining, logging, and ranching, shaping the initial economy of the region. The town of Pagosa Springs was selected as the county seat and remains so to this day.
Pagosa Springs, one of the most famous spots in the county, is well-known for its hot springs. A fascinating fact about the town is that it is home to the "World's Deepest Geothermal Hot Spring," which descends more than 1,002 feet below the surface. These pools attract tourists from all over who come to enjoy the natural mineral waters and their supposed therapeutic benefits.
