Pueblo (pwĕb′lṓ), Col., a city, county-seat of Pueblo County, on Arkansas River, a little over 100 miles from Denver. Through its iron and steel industry it has become the second city in the state. Its smelters, railroad-carshops, foundries and manufactories employ many. Among its manufactures are mining machinery, farming implements, furniture carriages and wagons. There are two systems of public schools, one on each side of the river, good parochial schools and several libraries. Pueblo is an important railroad-center, having the service of five railroads. In 1890 a mineral palace was erected to hold a permanent exhibit of Colorado's mineral productions at a cost of nearly $1,000,000. Pueblo has all the adjuncts of a modern city. Population 44,395.
