The Perry Park Place was originally inhabited by the Ute, Kiowa, Arapaho and Cheyenne Native American tribes. It was not granted by American immigrants until the 1858 Pike’s Peak Gold Rush close present-day Colorado Springs. Then ranchers such as Ben Quick and George Ratcliffe began settling in the area. In 1870 John D. Perry, president of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, visited Colorado and purchased the 4,000-acre (16 km) “Pleasant Park” that would eventually be named Perry Park. Mr. Perry’s son, Charles, became a remaining resident of the ranch and raised short-horn cattle in the Place until his death in 1876. Charles Perry died fittingly of living thing kicked by a horse upon the ranch. In 1888 John Perry, along similar to a number of further investors created the Red Stone Town, Land, & Mining Company which attempted to tilt Pleasant Park into a resort destination. A dam was constructed, creating Lake Wauconda. A large hotel was built southwest of the lake.

One of the investors, Charles Roberts, built one of the and no-one else homes in the extra development along the shores of Lake Wauconda (even while the entire area surrounding the lake was platted for home development). The Roberts home—the Manor House—is now the clubhouse for Perry Park Country Club.
