History of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region ...
It could be said that the destiny of Colorado Springs was predetermined when
volcanic pressures forced the earth’s crust to rise and buckle, forming the Rocky Mountains.
These mountains, rising abruptly from the High Plains, have had much to
do with who we were and what we have become. The mountains provide breathtaking
views from most Colorado Springs real estate properties.
Cheyenne, Ute, Arapaho, and other Native American tribes hunted in the area
and visited the mineral springs in the foothills of Pikes Peak. You could
say that they were the first people to recognize the beauty of Colorado
Springs real estate.
The first white men to see Pikes Peak were probably fur trappers or traders.
An expedition led by 27-year-old army Lieutenant Zebulon Pike spotted
the great white peak in 1806 from somewhere near the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas
River. Pike dispatched a party and intended to scale it, but ill equipped
and fighting November snows, they abandoned the effort.
In 1859, gold seekers, lured by the prospect of riches in the mountains west
of Denver, Colorado, established a village, called Colorado City, as a
supply depot and jumping off point for the South Park goldfields. Today,
that area is now part of the Colorado Springs west side and more classic
Colorado Springs real estate is offered throughout the area.
World War II got the town going again. Fort Carson and Peterson Air Force Base
were established. The North American Air (now Aerospace) Defense Command
(NORAD) and the U.S. Air Force Academy joined them in the 1950s. This
military presence continued to grow as Colorado Springs became the nation’s
military space capital in the 1980s and 1990s. Colorado Springs real estate
is effected in a positive way by the military. Relocation and a continuous
flux of personnel moving helps to create a cyclical demand for real estate
properties.
For those who care to look, the history of the Pikes Peak region is remarkably
visible and accessible. The Colorado Springs of yesterday is very much
a part of the Colorado Springs of today! Become a part of this beautiful
and historic area today.
