| Trinidad Colorado is a growing community boasting a rich history with lots of culture and a friendly atmosphere established in 1876. We have watched many changes in our ecomonic conditions over the years. Trinidad was once astop for the large cattle herds on the Santa Fe Trail. We have had a rich coal industry and now boast one of the nations largest natural gas basins. We are also known for our Junior College that specializes in gunsmithing. Trinidad is becoming an attractive destination for tourists and retirees. The beauty of the area and our mild four season climate has brought many to our "undiscovered piece of Colorado". Our population for the city remains constant at just under 10,000 folks. Our county population runs about 14,000. We invite you to visit our downtown shops, historic museums, fine dining and scenic highways. |
