This Month’s Fun Fact
How did Texas Creek receive its name?
Joseph Lamb, one of the of the first settlers in the area, came with the Goodnight/Loving cattle drive in the Mid-1860s. He settled along Texas Creek, so named because of the Texas Longhorns brought north from Texas to the mining districts in Colorado. The map below shows the Goodnight/Loving trail (far left) going through Mexico and Colorado.
