The City of Pueblo has a long and colorful history dating back to 1842 when it was called Fort Pueblo. What brought our city from a small Fort in southern Colorado, to the backbone of Colorado, were the ore mines. This area once housed four separate towns: Pueblo, South Pueblo, Central Pueblo and Bessemer. These four towns together now make up the City of Pueblo.

The City of Pueblo is also known as "America's Home of Heroes", as was proclaimed by the United States Congress in 1993. Pueblo hosts National Medal of Honor Day and has had as many as four living Medal of Honor recipients living in our community.

Pueblo can be found in Southern Colorado along the southern edge of the state's major growth corridor. Historically a transportation junction, the city lies 110 miles south of Denver at the crossroads of two major highways, Int. 25 and U.S. Highway 50.
