Land grants in New Mexico and Colorado were awarded to individuals and communities by the Spanish King and Mexican governments to encourage settlement and expansion of the Territorio de Nuevo Mexico, which included southern Colorado.
From 1692 to 1846, the Spanish and Mexican governments awarded land grants to Spanish individuals, communities, and Pueblo villages.
Before there was a Colorado, southern and western Colorado below the Arkansas river were once part of Spain, then Mexico. This changed on February 2, 1848, when the United States and Mexico signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending the two-year-long Mexican-American War.
There are many small Spanish Communities we ride through. Many of the families living in these communities are still of Spanish descent, never co-habituating or marrying into the local Indian tribes and Mexican families.
The area really was the Spanish Border back in the Day at the Arkansas River to the North.
