The EI Paso Colorado is the second most populous counties among the 64 counties of the Colorado. The population of this county is about six hundred thousands. The seat of this county is at the Colorado Springs which is the second most populous cities of the Colorado states. The Colorado spring statistical area comprises of the EI Paso county and the teller county. Since its creation in the year 1871 this county has always voted for the Republican Party always in each and every presidential election.

In the July 1858 the gold was found in the South Platte River in the Arapahoe County which is situated in the Kansas territory. This discovery precipitated the Pikes Peak gold rush. Many residents from the mining region felt disconnected from the territorial governments of Kansas and the Nebraska, so they voted to form their own their own territory of the Jefferson on the 24th October 1859. The following month the territorial legislature of the Jefferson organized 12 counties from the new territory including the EI Paso County. This was the name from the Spanish language Ute Pass north of Pikes Peak. The Colorado city served as a county seat.

According to the United States census the EI Paso has 2130 square miles area under it.
You must know that the EI Paso County is governed by the board of county commissioners. Its current members are the Wayne Williams, Douglas Bruce, Sallie Clark, Dennis Hisey, and Jim Bensberg. However the Douglas Bruce is no more the county commissioners and has been replaced by Amy Lathen. The Colorado Springs is the most important city of this county.

There are many great parks in this region. But one that catches my eyes the most is the Florissant fossil bed. I do feel that if you ever get a chance to visit the EI Paso County then you should really drive you car into the teller county as well. Actually I am pointing towards the Florissant fossil bed which is really one of the most important place for the archeologists I the entire worlds. It is not far of from the Colorado Springs. You can easily drive to this place by your car. It will hardly take two hours to reach this national park. I do feel that you must have an idea about the history of this national park.

However there is another site which is really very famous as well and it is the Pikes Peak national park situated in the Colorado state. If you are interested in hiking then I do feel that you should really visit this place for at least once. This is really one of the areas that are the EI Paso which is the hot favorite for you either if you are a republican or if you want to enjoy your holidays.
