AREA HISTORY

Steamboat Springs, Colorado, was founded in the late 1800s and was initially named for the natural hot springs that created a steamboat-like sound as the water bubbled up. Native Ute tribes had used the springs for centuries before European settlers arrived. The town grew rapidly in the late 19th century, mainly due to the discovery of coal and its proximity to major transportation routes. The area’s reputation as a health retreat spread as the mineral-rich springs became popular for their supposed therapeutic properties.

In the 20th century, Steamboat Springs transformed into a popular ski resort destination, especially after the opening of the Steamboat Ski Area in 1963. The ski industry continues to be a major economic driver for the town. Over the years, Steamboat Springs has maintained its small-town charm while embracing its status as a year-round destination for outdoor recreation, including skiing, hiking, and hot spring soaking.
