The first Europeans to reach the Colorado area, were Spanish. Juan de Onate founded what was then called Santa Fe De Nuevo Mejico in 1598. In 1803, the United States obtained the territory via the Louisiana Purchase. However, the Spanish challenged the claim, and when Zebulon Pike tried to explore the territory, he was arrested.
