Pueblo is a manufacturing, retail, and trucking center for the surrounding agricultural region and is near coalfields. The city was historically significant due to the presence of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation, once a major steel plant. The university's origin is tied to the development of Pueblo as a community, which was stimulated by the arrival of railroads in the 1870s.1
