El Paso County, located in the great state of Colorado, has a rich history that dates back to the mid-1800s. Established on November 1, 1861, it was one of the 17 original counties of the Colorado Territory, which was created by the American government prior to Colorado becoming a state in 1876.
The area that is now El Paso County was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Ute, Arapaho, and Cheyenne peoples. The region later became a hub for fur trappers and traders due to its ideal location along the Old Spanish Trail, which connected Santa Fe, New Mexico to California. It was during this time in the mid-19th century that European-American settlers began to arrive and establish settlements.
In 1858, gold was discovered near present-day Denver, sparking the Colorado Gold Rush and leading to an increase in population and development in the region. This also led to the establishment of Colorado City, which later became Colorado Springs, the county seat of El Paso County.
Colorado Springs, founded by General William Jackson Palmer in 1871, grew rapidly as a resort town, attracting tourists with its beautiful scenery, including Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods. The city also became a center for education and military installations, with the United States Air Force Academy being established in 1954.
One fun fact about El Paso County is that it is home to Pikes Peak, a famous mountain that stands at 14,115 feet in elevation. This mountain inspired the patriotic song "America the Beautiful," written by Katharine Lee Bates after her visit to the summit in 1893. Today, Pikes Peak attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year and is a symbol of El Paso County's natural beauty and history.
