Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2025. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Colorado Springs, Colorado was founded in 1871 by General William Jackson Palmer, a Civil War veteran and railroad magnate. The city was established as a resort town and quickly became a popular destination for tourists seeking the healing benefits of its mineral springs and fresh mountain air. In the late 19th century, Colorado Springs experienced a population boom, attracting settlers and entrepreneurs who were drawn to the city’s growing economy and mild climate. The city’s economy flourished with the arrival of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, which helped connect Colorado Springs to other major cities in the region. Throughout the 20th century, Colorado Springs continued to thrive, becoming a hub for the military and defense industries. The city is home to several military installations, including the United States Air Force Academy and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Today, Colorado Springs is known for its stunning natural beauty, outdoor recreational opportunities, and vibrant arts and culture scene. It remains a popular destination for tourists and residents alike.
