Tesla moved to Colorado Springs in May 1899 to conduct experiments and research on wireless transmission of electricity.
Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil in his workshop in New York City in the late 19th century. He first publicly demonstrated the device in 1891 at the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.
In the spring of 1899, shortly after receiving an informal request from an office of the U.S. Government to develop a wireless communications system. Tesla moved his work to a high plateau near Colorado Springs. There he constructed a large experimental radio station unlike anything the world had ever seen before. His plan was to study the characteristics of high voltage, high frequency alternating electrical currents with the intellectual goal of ascertaining "the laws of propagation of currents through the earth and the atmosphere." That makeshift laboratory was located in Pike's Peak and it was demolished. It was not as big as the Tesla Tower in New York.
Tesla, a local contractor, and several assistants commenced the construction of the laboratory shortly after arriving in Colorado Springs. According to accounts, Tesla used it to transmit tens of thousands of watts of power wirelessly; it could generate millions of volts of electricity and produce lightning bolts more than one-hundred feet (30 m) long. Tesla posted a large fence around it with a sign "Keep Out - Great Danger". The lab was established on Knob Hill.
He began working at Edison Company in New York City where he perfected the troubles with Edison's direct current machine. After quitting on Edison, Tesla formed his own company named Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing in 1886. In 1896 he worked and supervised the hydro plant at Niagara. When working in Niagara he had the Houston Street lab. In 1899, Tesla decided to move and began research in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Then we have the Wardenclyffe laboratory located in Shoreham, Long Island, New York. After the tower is Shoreham, he built the Telefunken Wireless Station in Sayville, Long Island. He began living in the New Yorker where he had his last living and working space.
A Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. It is used to produce high voltage which Tesla used to test a way to conduct wireless electricity. Something about Tesla was that his inventions were not an accident like most inventions. He visioned the inventions in his head and then make them work. The Tesla coil experiments were done or conducted in the Colorado Springs laboratory. We could think that the first Tesla Coil was built there but the idea could be in his head way back from New York when he was working with George Wentishouse.

It is believed that Tesla had the sign "Abandon hope all ye who enter here" at his laboratory gate in Colorado Springs as a joke, making reference to Dante's Inferno. Tesla had a quirky sense of humor and enjoyed playing practical jokes on visitors.
Colorado Springs is in the state of Colorado.
No. Colorado Springs is a city.
