George Simpson was one of the founders and early residents of Fort Pueblo. He was born in St. Louis and well-educated. His father, a physician, sent him west where he became an adventurer, farmer, shopkeeper, civic leader, and poet. George is buried on top of a sandstone bluff in Trinidad called “Simpson’s Rest.”
