Old Colorado City

Welcome to Old Colorado City, the westside area of Colorado Springs.

Locals say "Westside is the best side" for a reason!

This charming neighborhood has robust arts and culture offerings, top-tier shopping and historic buildings along Colorado Avenue. Whether you need to secure some souvenirs to bring back to loved ones or are looking for a farmer’s market to frequent – OCC is the place. Once “Colorado City,” this area was the first permanent town in the Pikes Peak Region and the first capital of the Territory of Colorado.
