Colorado Springs Area Information

Colorado Springs was founded in August 1871 by General William Palmer, with the intention of creating a high quality resort community, and was soon nicknamed "Little London" because of the many English tourists who came. Nearby Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods made the city's location a natural choice.

Colorado Springs is the largest municipality in El Paso County with an estimated population of 370,000. The city accounts for nearly three-quarters of the county's population of approximately 576,000. The county contains 2,127 square miles, much of it rural agricultural and grazing land to the east of Colorado Springs.

At an elevation of 6,035 feet, residents enjoy a number of climatic advantages. During the summer months the days may be seasonally warm but when the sun sets, the evening and nights are refreshingly cool. Colorado Springs' pleasant climate is a key element in the area's high quality of life. Weather in the Pikes Peak region is surprisingly mild; uncomfortable extremes are rare.

Other population centers in the county include Monument and Palmer Lake to the north; Security, Widefield and Fountain to the south; and Manitou Springs, Cascade and Green Mountain Falls to the west, Peyton and Calhan to the East. Below is a list some of the key subdivisions and master planned communities in the area.
