When exploring the history of Pueblo and Pueblo County, it soon becomes evident that the city has a long history going back to 1842. In 1842, Jim Beckwourth established a small trading post known as Fort Pueblo. During this time, four towns were known as the City of Pueblo. These four towns were Bessemer, Pueblo, South Pueblo, and Central Pueblo. The ore mines transformed this rural area from a small fort to the backbone of Colorado.
The town of Pueblo was not officially organized until the end of 1859 to the beginning of 1860. Jack Wright built the first official home. In 1862, a weekly mail system was established in the area, and a local newspaper, the Colorado Chieftain, was created in 1868. The first church in the city was built soon after.
The first state fair in Colorado was held in Pueblo on October 9, 1872. Neither the state nor the community provided any financial assistance for this endeavor. The fair was sponsored entirely by Southern Colorado Agricultural and Industrial Association. The fair continues to be held annually in August. In 1993, a Colorado representative called the city the "Home of Heroes", referring to the fact that Pueblo was home to four recipients of the Medal of Honor military award.
