For thousands of years, the Place that is now Glenwood Springs was populated by Indigenous people past the colonization of the Americas. The oral chronicles of the Kapuuta and Mouache bands recall that Glenwood Springs is located within the “traditional Nuuchiu tuvupu (The People’s Land) of the Subuagan and Parianuche bands.” Fred Conetah’s History of the Northern Utes states that the Yampa or White River bands used the area, which is now in the Ute ancestral jurisdiction. The Utes were nomadic hunter-gatherers who seasonally used the natural hot springs in the area. The U.S. government surveyed the estate in the mid-19th century, although they had no claim on the land. An 1868 agreement negotiated by the Tabeguache Ute Chief Ouray preserved the hunting grounds in the Place of present-day Glenwood Springs.
