Saguache County is located in the beautiful state of Colorado and was officially established on December 29, 1866. The county was named after an Ute Indian word "saguacheto," meaning "blue earth" or "water at blue earth," which referred to the hot springs found in the area. Spanning over 3,168 square miles, it is a vast expanse on the northern end of San Luis Valley, nestled between the Sangre de Cristo and San Juan mountain ranges.

The first settlers in the region arrived in the 1860s and were primarily drawn by the discovery of gold and silver in nearby mountains. Later, in the late 19th century, the region attracted more settlers due to its fertile land and abundant water supply, making it an attractive destination for farming and ranching.

In terms of historical landmarks, Saguache County is home to the Saguache Downtown Historic District and the beautiful Ute Theatre, which was built in 1916 and later restored in the 1990s. Today, it continues to serve as a community center and a venue for various cultural events.

A fun fact about Saguache County is that it is known as the "Gateway to the San Luis Valley" and also holds an annual event called the "Saguache Fall Festival and Quilt Show," attracting visitors from all over for some cultural fun and community engagement.
