AREA HISTORY
La Veta is located in the Spanish Peaks region of Southern Colorado. The area has a deep and diverse history beginning with its unique geology. The east and west Spanish Peaks dominate the scenic panorama with their beauty and symmetry. The impressive dike walls and volcanic stocks are stunning. Over the centuries, the prominence of the peaks has been important as a landmark for nomadic Native Americans, Spanish explorers, and pioneer settlers. Hispanic homesteaders lived, ranched, and farmed in this area of Southern Colorado, which was once known as “the notch,” an area carved from New Mexico for latitudinal convenience.
