History

Guadalupe was among the first settlements in the San Luis Valley. It was founded by Lafayette Head in 1854.[2]

Guadalupe served as the Conejos County county seat from 1861 — when the county was established — until 1863, when the county seat was moved to nearby and slightly higher Conejos, due to flooding from the Conejos River in Guadalupe.[3]
