BOULDER, Colo. — Not far from Boulder’s iconic Flatirons, tucked between farms and winding roads popular with cyclists, a plot of land with a complicated history will soon be transformed.
“One thing that's really important is just taking a step back and thinking what our history has been, where we've come from, and the opportunity to move forward,” said Phillip Yates, a spokesperson for the City of Boulder. At Fort Chambers in 1864, more than 100 soldiers mobilized into Company D of the Third Colorado Cavalry. A monument placed in the area in the 1950s said the “old Fort Chambers” was “used during the Indian Uprising.” That marker has since been removed because of its inaccuracy.
“Once Boulder was started and the other towns, they were in violation of the Fort Laramie Treaty, because they were not supposed to settle on the land,” Mosqueda said.“What they did in 1864, is they created the story or the idea or the thought or the motivation that there was going to be an uprising,” he said. “That was the basis for our removal.”
The City of Boulder also hopes to improve wildlife and ecological protections, and preserve the area’s farming history.
