Among the many trading and trap hunters, including Matthew Kinkade, George Simpson asserted that he would help build a square called El Pueblo, or Fort Pueblo, around 1842. Simpson married Juan Maria Suazo and moved there after a year or two. But Simpson had no legal right to land. A building of sun-dried bricks was constructed adjacent to the Arkansas River for reclamation and trade, which formed the border between the United States and Mexico. About a dozen families lived there and traded Indians and leather, raw skins, livestock and later cultivated crops and liquor. Along with the practical articles, evidence of trade like fragments of Indian earthenware was found in the recently excavated area. According to the testimony of the tenant who traded in the square (including Simpson's testimony), the fort was attacked several times by the Uit and the Jakarta Apache tribes between December 23 and 25, 1854. They are said to have killed 15 or 19 men and a woman and captured two children. The trading post was abandoned after the attack, but it became an important point again between 1858 and 1859 when the Colorado Gold Rush started in 1859.

The present Pueblo City has been merged with Pueblo (incorporated in 1870), South Pueblo (incorporated in 1873), Central Pueblo (incorporated in 1882), and Bessemer (incorporated in 1886). Pueblo, South Pueblo, and Central Pueblo were legally merged into Pueblo City from March 9 to April 6, 1886, and Bessemer joined the merger in 1894.

The merged city has become the heart of Colorado's major economy and society and is the home of key members of the early Colorado family, including Thatcher, Oman and Adams. Pueblo was considered the "capital of saddle-making in the world" until a series of large floods reached its highest point in the 1921 flood. A third of Pueblo's central city was lost by the flood, and a significant number of buildings were destroyed. Pueblo has been fighting to make up for the loss for a long time, and only recently began to come back.

Pueblo's economic situation has deteriorated significantly due to the decline of the American steel industry in the 1970s and 1980s, and it is still actively pursuing diversification of economic bases. For this reason, the city of Pueblo has sold pedestrian walkways along the river, extensive walkways, industrial parks, and reactivated central towns.

ironworks

A Furnace Plant Building, Furnace and Power Plant

For the most part of Pueblo's history, the main industry was the Colorado Fuel and Iron Ironworks on the south side of the town. In 1982, the steel market collapsed and the company also declined. After experiencing several bankruptcies, it was acquired by Oregon Steel Mills, which has recently changed its name to Rocky Mountain Steel Mills. Since the acquisition, labor disputes have been brought about to accuse of unfair labor practices. The issue reached its highest point in a major strike in 1997, with the majority of employees changing hands.

Among many production facilities in the area, only the facilities for making steel furnaces (used for recycling electric furnaces and scrap), rails, steel bars, rods, and seamless pipes are still in operation today. The wire manufacturing equipment was sold to Davis Wire in the late 1990s, and even today, the Colorado Fuel and Iron brand continues to produce fencing and nail-like products.

The plant was operating a blast furnace until 1982 when the steel market ran out. The main blast furnace was destroyed in 1989, but most of the adjacent furnaces are left intact because asbestos is used. This furnace and the building can be easily seen from the Interstate Expressway Route 25 parallel to the west boundary of the plant.

Some of the administrative buildings, including major office buildings, clinics, and tunnel-type maintenance stations, were acquired by the Bessemer Historical Association in 2003 and are now under repair. In addition to the historic record of Colorado Fuel and Iron, the first stage of a plan to convert it into a museum in the steel industry and culture is being carried out.

presidential visit

When President Woodrow Wilson made a lecture tour to support the United States of America's accession to the League of Nations, on 25 September 1919, he collapsed after giving a speech in Pueblo. He suffered a week of apoplexy and left his body disabled for the rest of his presidency.

President Theodore Roosevelt visited the Pueblo Army Supply Station to place the first brick for the construction of Y.M.C.A. and also studied the water in Colorado.

President George H. W. Bush visited Pueblo's Natural Center's Bird of Prey Center during his vice president's time and released the American eagle whose wings were being treated.

Other leaders of the countries who visited Pueblo include President John F. Kennedy, President Bill Clinton, Senator John Kerry and Vice President Al Gore.

In the 2008 presidential election, both Barack Obama and John McCain candidates visited Pueblo as part of the campaign. In the election, Colorado was considered an important state of war, and the result was the Democratic Party candidate for Obama to win Colorado for the first time in 16 years.

state hospital

Another major employer in Pueblo's history was the state hospital, which was originally intended for the entire state. The Colorado State Mental Hospital, established in 1879, has become the Colorado State Hospital since 1917. In 1991, the name was changed to Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo. The largest security center in forensic medicine is currently under construction as a new 200-bed high-tech security facility.

Pueblo City

The people from Pueblo are Honor Medal recipients, Drou D. Dick, Raymond G. Murphy, William J. Crawford, and Carl L. Sitter. In 1953, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave Murphy an award, "What is this?.. Is it in the water from Pueblo? All of you are turning into heroes!" Since there were more recipients of the Order of Honor per capita than any city in the United States of America, the City Government Committee adopted 'City of Heroes' as its slogan. On July 1, 1993, Pueblo was recorded as a "city of heroes" in the Federal Assembly minutes. The Pueblo Conference Center has a memorial for the recipients of the Order. Pueblo's Central High School is from Sitter and Crawford and is called "Hero's School" as the highest school in the United States that has received the Order of Honor.
