Founded in 1880, Hartsel sits near the geographic center of Colorado and is proudly known as “The Heart of Colorado.” The area was originally inhabited by the Ute and Arapahoe tribes, and in the 1840s, hunters and trappers began calling the valley “South Park” due to its vast herds and abundant wildlife. Today, outdoor recreation remains the primary draw.

Samuel Hartsel’s historic 100,000-acre cattle ranch once included the Hartsel Hot Springs and much of what is now the Estates of Colorado development.
