Spice
The Pueblo chile is a flavor and a symbol you’ll notice everywhere in Pueblo. It’s at the core of local cuisine and just a small part of the region’s agriculture industry. Give it a try. Don’t worry, there are mild options too. Learn more
Steel
Pueblo’s steel mill is one of the most advanced railroad rail mills in the United States. It’s also one of its oldest, having been effectively in operation since the 1870’s. If you’ve been on the Golden Gate Bridge or any major railroad in the country, chances are you’ve been on Pueblo steel. Learn more
Rivers
The Arkansas River flows through the heart of Pueblo, and just outside of town is Lake Pueblo State Park. The most visited state park in Colorado, known for its epic boating and fishing. The Arkansas River below the dam is known nationwide for its trout fishing, and boaters and surfers make the most of TWO separate whitewater parks in town. Learn more
History
Water drives Pueblo’s rich history. This region has been inhabited by indigenous people including the Pueblo, Southern Ute, Ute Mountain Ute, Jicarilla Apache, and others. The region’s bustling 1900s era led to phenomenal architecture still standing today. Just outside of Pueblo in the Wet Mountains, the first U.S. Forest Service recreational unit ever brought camping, hiking, and nature experiences to the common person.
Valor
Also known as the “Home of Heroes”, Pueblo is home to four Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, one of the highest densities in the country. Learn more
