Today we take a look at the oldest continuously occupied town in the Centennial State. Situated along the Culebra Creek in the San Luis Valley near the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Colorado Encyclopedia notes that San Luis was founded on April 9, 1851 by Hispano people from Taos, New Mexico. It’s home to the San Luis Peoples Market, formerly the R&R Market, Colorado’s oldest business at 167 years old. The town is also honored to be the site of la Mesa de la Piedad y de la Misericordia, a shrine to the Stations of the Cross, created for the Sangre de Cristo Parish by internationally recognized local sculptor Huberto Maestas. Today San Luis has a population of around 640 people—but every July, hundreds of people from around the region return for the Fiesta de Santiago y Santa Ana. With a car show, musical performances, parade, and a 10K run/walk, it’s one of the state’s oldest festivals—going strong since the early days of the town’s establishment. Maybe it’s time for a visit!
