The City of Pueblo was established in 1842, incorporated in 1870 and is proudly called the “Home of Heroes” because of the record of four living recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor who claim Pueblo as their hometown. The City Seal, which is under the five flags, represents the countries and territories that held dominion over the Pueblo area which include France, Mexico, Texas, Spain and of course the United States of America. Pueblo was established at the confluence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek and is well known for the Pueblo green chile grown in the region, the steel mill and the strong ethnic ties which create the welcoming community.
