The Appeal of Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs: A City with a Rich Heritage and Dynamic Growth

Founded in 1871 by Civil War General William Jackson Palmer, Colorado Springs was envisioned as a resort destination, capitalizing on its proximity to Pikes Peak and its dry mountain air, which was believed to benefit tuberculosis patients. Unlike many Colorado towns established by miners and ranchers, Palmer’s vision was to create a community centered around health and tourism.

This vision materialized with the opening of the Antlers Hotel in 1883, attracting visitors nationwide. The city’s reputation as a premier destination was further solidified with the completion of The Broadmoor Hotel in 1918, garnering international acclaim.

Today, Colorado Springs continues to thrive. As of 2025, the city’s population is estimated at 494,219, making it the second-most populous city in Colorado, following Denver . The city spans approximately 202.1 square miles, distinguishing it as Colorado’s largest city by land area.

Beyond its historical roots, Colorado Springs is renowned for its vibrant community, robust economy, and abundant recreational opportunities. The city hosts several military installations, including the U.S. Air Force Academy, and is home to the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center. With its scenic beauty, rich history, and dynamic growth, Colorado Springs offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation.
