History of Pueblo Colorado

The City of Pueblo started out as Fort Pueblo in 1842 and grew into a busy mining area due to rich ore deposits and railway lines. The town eventually formed four distinct areas: Bessemer, Central Pueblo, South Pueblo, and Pueblo. Today these four areas are all considered Pueblo. The area has expanded and in 1969 the Pueblo West Metropolitan District was created about 7 miles west of pueblo where a new planned community was formed with its own covenants, which are enforced by the Committee of Architecture.
