In 1842 traders built a fort, or barricaded settlement, where Pueblo now stands. Generally about a dozen families lived there, traveling to various Indian encampments to trade for buffalo robes. On Christmas Eve, 1854 Fort Pueblo was attacked by about 100 Ute TribeUtes and most of the inhabitants killed. The site remained uninhabited until the towns that would eventually constitute the modern town of Pueblo were settled after the Colorado Gold Rush of 1859 Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pueblo%2C_Colorado
