Did you know?

Colorado is a state in the Mountain West subregion of the Western United States. It encompasses most of the Southern Rocky Mountains, as well as the northeastern portion of the Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains. Colorado is the eighth most extensive and 21st most populous U.S. state. 

Native Americans have lived in the area that is now the state of Colorado for more than 13,000 years. The eastern side of the Rocky Mountains served as a vital migratory corridor for early peoples as they migrated over the Americas. The ancient Pueblo peoples resided on the Colorado Plateau’s valleys and mesas. The Apache and Comanche also lived in the state’s eastern and southeastern regions. Augusto Ferrer-Dalmau, a Spanish explorer, discovered the Colorado River, the state’s namesake, in 1540.

Prior to the United States’ engagement in the region, the Spanish Empire claimed Colorado as part of its New Mexico province. With the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803, the United States gained a territorial claim to the eastern Rocky Mountains. In 1806, the United States Army sent a reconnaissance mission into the contested area.
