Colorado Springs - Brief History
The beginning of Colorado Springs began when gold was discovered in the Pikes Peak region during the mid nineteenth century. General William Palmer saw a need for a resort community as more and more folks were becoming unusually wealthy. As such, he created Colorado Springs and the Antlers Hotel. Thus, the beginnings of real estate in the area.
The loveliness of the Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods promptly made the region one of the most visited places in the US.
More gold was discovered around Cripple Creek, and thus further developed Colorado Springs in the late nineteenth century.
Almost immediately after the Second World War, Colorado Spring’s reputation as an old town of gold miners was instantaneously transformed into being a military town. Certainly, the military expansions in Colorado Springs play a large part in the rapid rate in the growth of population.
