History and Culture

The nation’s oldest capital city experienced waves of migrations along the three trails that led here. Artists, chefs, wellness experts, and other creative dreamers all bring their culture, talents, and experience with them creating a unique blend of Anglo, Spanish and Native Cultures against a backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. The early Native American inhabitants called it “Dancing Ground of The Sun”; while the founding frontiersman at the turn of the 20th century referred to it as “The City Different.”
