Four days after our city’s founding on July 31, 1871, the Colorado Springs Company contracted to build a 6.5-mile canal from Fountain Creek to Gen. William Jackson Palmer’s new town. The reason for haste was simple, as John Harner explains in Profiting from the Peak: Landscape and Liberty in Colorado Springs. “The founders were in the business of selling land, and land with trees, lawns and a steady supply of water was far more valuable than the dry and bleak mesa the first visitors saw. Irrigation water was a necessary investment for the success of the colony,” Harner writes.
