History
Fort Pueblo
Main article: Early history of the Arkansas Valley in
Colorado
George Simpson, among other traders and trappers such
as Mathew Kinkead, claimed to have helped construct
the plaza that became known as El Pueblo or Fort Pueblo
around 1842.[7] George married Juana Maria Suaso and
lived there for a year or two before moving; however,
Simpson had no legal title to the land. The adobe struc-
tures were built with the intention of settlement and
trade next to the Arkansas River, which then formed the

the recently excavated site. According to accounts of res-
idents who traded at the plaza (including that of George
Simpson), the fort was raided sometime between Decem-
ber 23 and December 25, 1854, by a war party of Utes
and Jicarilla Apaches under the leadership of Tierra Blan-
ca, a Ute chief.[8] They allegedly killed between fifteen
and nineteen men and captured two children and one
woman.[9] The trading post was abandoned after the raid,
but it became important again between 1858 and 1859
during the Colorado Gold Rush of 1859.[10]
City of Pueblo
The current city of Pueblo represents the consolidation
of four towns: Pueblo (incorporated 1870), South Pueblo
(incorporated 1873), Central Pueblo (incorporated 1882),
Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Pueblo and Bessemer (incorporated 1886). Pueblo, South Pueblo,
and Central Pueblo legally consolidated as the City of

seamless tube mills are still in operation. The wire mill
was sold in the late 1990s to Davis Wire, which still pro-
duces products such as fence and nails under the CF&I
brand name.
The facility operated blast furnaces until 1982, when
the bottom fell out of the steel market. The main blast
furnace structures were torn down in 1989, but due to as-
bestos content, many of the adjacent stoves still remain.
The stoves and foundations for some of the furnaces can
be easily seen from Interstate 25, which runs parallel to
the plant’s west boundary.
