Colorado City, founded in 1859 in the Kansas Territory, was a pivotal town as the first successful settlement in today's El Paso County, Colorado. The Civil War was about to divide the nation, expansion West was on the horizon and the turn of the century was getting closer. Colorado City residents would live through some of the fastest changes in our nation; industrialization, women's rights, wars and the ever-growing desire to rid the nation of alcohol.

The Colorado City Iris began publication in 1889. In those early days of Colorado City, the newspaper was the pulse of the city, informing citizens of news from the far reaches of the world, from the nation, around Colorado and the local home town.

Colorado City History, Through the Eyes of the Iris provides a way to travel back in time to meet the residents and share the lives, loves and events that shaped Colorado City.
