![]() Located at the confluence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek, Pueblo has been an important crossroads for transportation and trading for more than 150 years.

Pueblo offers an attractive lifestyle to its residents with its low cost of living, excellent environmental quality and outstanding educational facilities. The community hosts an extensive system of parks and beautiful mountain scenery. Lake Pueblo, located five miles west of the city, provides excellent boating, camping, fishing, and other water sports. The Sangre de Cristo Arts Center, numerous museums and the Pueblo Symphony offer many enriching opportunities for those who enjoy the arts. ![]() Located in the
