About Huerfano County:
Huerfano County, whose name comes from the Spanish huérfano meaning "orphan", was named for the Huerfano Butte, a local landmark. Previously the tribal lands of the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapaho, the county became one of the 17 original counties of the Territory of Colorado. Nestled between the twin Spanish Peaks and the Wet Mountains the land ranges from high elevation forests through canyons and mESAs to expansive grasslands. It is rich with history from dinosaurs and Spanish Gold to cowboys and the Wild West. The area of Huerfano County boomed early in the 1900s with the discovery of large coal deposits. After large scale WWII coal demand ended in the 1940s the region saw a steady economic decline. Currently, through the hard work ethic and creativity that represents its citizens, Huerfano County is embracing new vitality in agriculture, power generation, tourism and forest industries. Other attractions include historic sites, majestic scenery, and endless outdoor adventures.
