Facts The area that is now the state of Colorado has been inhabited by man for around 13,000 years. The first people to live there were Native Americans and the Lindenmeier Site in Larimer County is an archaeological site that contains artefacts that go back as far as 8710BCE. European settlers were brought to the area by westward expansion and some of Colorado’s earliest recorded history covers treaties and wars over territory. In 1849 and 1850 gold seekers heading towards the California Gold Rush found gold whilst panning streams in the South Platte River Valley at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. William Greenbury Russell led a party of Cherokee golf seekers from Georgia to search properly for gold along the river and found a small placer deposit in the first week around five miles above Cherry Creek. The Territory of Colorado existed from 1861 to 1876 and it’s boundaries were the same as the current boundaries of Colorado today, the territory was admitted to the Union as a state on August 1 st , 1876 becoming the 38 th state of the United States. The Colorado War was an Indian War between the white settlers and militia from the Territory of Colorado and it’s neighbouring regions and the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. One of the notable acts during the Colorado war was an attack against the camp of Southern Cheyenne Chief Black Kettle that would come to be known as the Sand Creek Massacre.
