Welcome Pleasing to the eye with its clean water and mountain views, Pueblo’s environmental efforts have made it a Preserve America community. The city boasts well-known attractions such as the Pueblo Zoo and Historic Arkansas Riverwalk, but is perhaps best known for growing close to 10 million pounds of chile peppers each year. Pueblo’s 105,000 residents can be proud of their nationally ranked school system and affordable home prices, plus four native sons who are Medal of Honor recipients.
