History
In 1851, the first Europeans to live permanently in Colorado settled along the banks of Culebra Creek. The creek is the source of the San Luis People's Ditch, an acequia, which was given the highest priority water rights in the state. The entire Culebra Creek Watershed supports fourteen acequias.
