History
History of Garfield County
As was the case in much of western Colorado, Garfield County historically belonged to the Ute people. For much of the 19th century, this land was guaranteed to the Ute peoples by treaty with the United States government. The native inhabitants of the area were largely removed and sent to reservations in the early 1880s in the wake of the Meeker Massacre, in which a band of Ute members attacked the Indian agency on their reservation near the modern-day town of Meeker, killing 11 employees, including Indian agent (and town namesake) Nathan Meeker. This removal opened up vast swaths of western Colorado to white settlement. Garfield County was founded on February 10, 1883, named in memory of President James A. Garfield, who was assassinated in September 1881. In April 1883, the town of Carbonate was incorporated and named the county seat.
