Originally home
to Native American tribes, Pueblo was a favorite crossroads for
fur traders and explorers who founded a trading post, Fort
Pueblo, in the early 1840s. From here, Zebulon Pike launched the
first expedition into the Arkansas River Valley. It was the
discovery of gold in 1858 that began the development of the area
in earnest, and the arrival of the railroad in the 1870s that
spurred its growth.
Y
es, this site is still under construction ~ and
probably will be for a long time. However, what you're currently
viewing is THE last redesign and now, a lot of material will begin
to be added. Many links are not working yet as the pages are not
ready. Please check back frequently to
see how I'm doing.
*** Note...
I
do not live in
Pueblo County and am unable to help you with local research.
U
ntil we have local research volunteers listed
at this site, you should contact the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness website at http://www.raogk.org. They have volunteers who have offered to help researchers with local research in their respective counties. Often the work is done for little to no compensation. It's likely you'll find someone that can help you.
I
f you have anything to contribute, any suggestions
for inclusion on the site, or simply want to send a friendly
greeting, please
email me! I'd love to hear from you.
