Pueblo is one of the largest steel-producing cities in the United States; because of this Pueblo is referred to as the “Steel City.” Many consider Pueblo to be the economic hub of south eastern Colorado. Due to this some people call Pueblo “Colorado’s second city” even though Pueblo is the state’s ninth most populous city. It is now home to a number of electronics and aviation companies. The Historic Arkansas River Project (HARP) is a beautiful river walk that graces the historic Union Avenue district. It shows the history of the Pueblo Flood.

It is the hometown of Damon Runyon, who never returned after 1911 or so, but mentioned Pueblo in many of his newspaper columns (notably his “Our Old Man” pieces). Pueblo is also the home of Dutch Clark, the first man from Colorado in the NFL hall of fame. Pueblo’s largest football stadium is named after him. At this stadium is where the oldest high school rivalry west of the Mississippi takes place, The Bell Game, which is played by The Pueblo Central Wildcats and the Pueblo Centennial Bulldogs.
