Early History

Before white settlers arrived in 1874, Native Americans of the Arapahoe and Cheyenne tribes appreciated the Castle Rock area for a location shielded from the winter storms of the mountains and the extreme heat of the eastern plains. Its grassy foothills also provided game like antelope, buffalo, deer and rabbit. Jeremiah Gould, one of the town’s earliest settlers, was attracted to the area by rumors of gold. Gold was never found but another resource, rhyolite stone, a volcanic rock seen in many local buildings, gave the Castle Rock an economic foothold.
