16 Month Calendar

  The Pueblo Downtown Association presents The The business hub of Southern Colorado, Downtown Pueblo welcomed visitors and new residents arriving at its bustling railroad stations. Beautiful Victorian buildings housed banks, department stores, hotels, warehouses, theaters and scores of small businesses. The RT Frazier Saddle Company and the Rood Candy Company were fine examples of the city's manufacturers, widely known for their exceptional products.

No Pueblo history is complete without a mention or photograph of the devastating Arkansas River flood which tore through Downtown Pueblo in June 1921.

  The Pueblo Downtown Association was founded in the 1940’s by managers from department stores. Pueblo Downtown was the retail center of Southern Colorado in the 1950’s and 60’s. The Downtown Association coordinated events in the downtown area that involved all of the businesses in the area.
  Today, the purpose of this association is to promote, through its membership, the Downtown Business District by whatever means required.
With over 100 members the Pueblo Downtown Association IS the heart of Pueblo. Membership is not limited to downtown businesses. All members are Pueblo Downtown promoters.
