You’ll be guided through Historic Manitou Springs, located at the foot of Pike’s Peak.
- Manitou Springs, located near Colorado Springs, Colorado, has a rich history that dates to the early 19th century. The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, particularly the Ute Indians, who revered the natural springs for their healing properties.
In the mid-1800s, European settlers began to arrive, drawn by the natural mineral springs and the area's scenic beauty. The town was officially founded in 1872, with the name "Manitou" derived from a Native American word meaning "spirit." The springs became a popular destination for health seekers looking to benefit from the mineral waters.
Manitou Springs grew rapidly during the late 19th century, becoming a popular resort town. The arrival of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad in the 1880s further boosted tourism.
