Welcome to the Newto News for May 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!

Nestled at the base of Pikes Peak in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado Springs has a rich history dating back to the 1800s. The city was originally founded as a resort town for those seeking the healing properties of its natural mineral springs. In the late 19th century, the discovery of gold in nearby Cripple Creek brought a population boom to Colorado Springs, transforming it into a bustling mining town. Over the years, the city has continued to grow and evolve, becoming a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and travelers. The establishment of the United States Air Force Academy in the 1950s solidified Colorado Springs as a military hub, with numerous defense contractors and aerospace companies setting up shop in the area. Today, Colorado Springs is known for its stunning natural beauty, thriving arts and culture scene, and as a hub for outdoor recreation. With a diverse population and strong economy, the city continues to attract residents and visitors from around the world.
