The Great merican Although Cherry Creek usually has no water, this is the view on Iarimer Street the day after the flood of 1864. -W The Ute Indians lived in both brush arbors and teepees, The history of the Centennial state began much like that of the United States, with discov- ery, Indian conquests, and then development. The three major groups of Indians that the Wliite man dislocated', from Colorado were the Southern Cheyennes the Southern Arapahoes, A between these tribes and the White settlers con- tinued throughout Colorado until the 1880 s cli- maxed with the deaths of 15 White men at the Present day Colorado was first explored by iilllllll 6 Americans when Lieutenant Zebulon M. Pike conducted the expedition into the southwestern area of the newly purchased Louisiana Territory in 1806. The only two apparent uses for the new land were farming and trading. The first possibility was ruled out by the lack of water, an element that was to plague the development of the state until the present time. The second was the basis for the first settlement in the state, in 1845, named El Pueblo, near Lajunta. These Ute Indians came to Denver for talks with government officials after the Meeker Massacre in 1879,

Q 2' r Q. William A. H. Loveland was one of the Founding Fathers of Colorado. The trading industry was prevalent until gold was discovered in 1859 on Cherry Creek near its confluence with the South Platte River. Here Auraria and Denver City were started. These two towns, combined into Denver City in 1860, along with Golden and Loveland were the major sup- ply points of the gold mining towns of Leadville, Central City, and Georgetown. As in every min- ing-boom area, the population increased at such a great rate that Colorado settlers voted on the question of statehood as early as 1864. Opposi- tion in southern counties, however, most notably rioting in the area surrounding Trinidad, led to the issue of statehood being dropped until seven years later. by Gurnsey Early mining camps were put up quickly, without regard for the outside appearance.
