Colorado Springs is a large city located in the central part of the United States of America. Like most other cities in the United States, Colorado Springs began its history as a small border town. Moving further and further inland, the white conquerors drove numerous Indian tribes from their original habitats.
Such actions resulted in bloody clashes and the US government decided to organize several reservations for the surviving remnants of the once numerous tribes.
One of them was not far from Colorado Springs. However, the area in those days was called Founti Colony. Only after the discovery of the healing properties of mineral springs at the foot of the mountains, the city was renamed Colorado Springs. The remains of the Indians were completely cut, and the reservation was disbanded. The city has chosen a course to attract tourists.
However, the influx of people did not increase at the expense of sanatorium services, but because of the wave of the gold rush — gold was found in Colorado Springs. Over time, deposits of precious metal dried up. However, by that time the city was already firmly on its feet.
A branch line connecting Denver and Rio Grande ran through Colorado Springs. This fact also favorably affected the development of the city. New settlers all arrived and arrived. Many of them were from the UK. Colorado Springs was even informally called Little London.
Today, Colorado Springs continues to play an important part in the symphony of America’s tourism. Not the last role in this plays the magnificence of the landscape of the Rocky Mountains, on the ledges of which the city is located, which is the main attraction.
The Garden of the Gods Park is very popular among fans of climbing in the mountains. The incredible quirkiness of the rock formations amazes the eye and leaves an indelible impression.
Once upon a time this territory was owned by Charles Elliot Perkins. He highly appreciated the pristine beauty of the majestic mountains and wanted people to come here without hindrance. Obedient to the will of his father, his children donated these lands to the gift of Colorado Springs. According to the terms of the will, the entrance to the park and today remains free.
