Welcome to the Newto News for September of 2026. 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’s strategic location at the base of Pikes Peak made it an ideal location for settlement and development. Initially established as a resort town for tuberculosis patients seeking the healing powers of the dry mountain air, Colorado Springs quickly grew into a thriving community known for its stunning natural beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Colorado Springs experienced a boom in tourism and development with the construction of luxurious resorts and grand hotels. The city also became a center for mining and industry, attracting entrepreneurs and workers from across the country. Today, Colorado Springs is a bustling metropolis with a diverse economy that includes aerospace, technology, military installations, and tourism. The city continues to be a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with its abundance of hiking trails, parks, and scenic vistas. Its rich history and natural wonders make Colorado Springs a truly unique and vibrant city in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.
