When You Have Water Damage in Blende, SERVPRO Is Here To Help

Blende, Colorado is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Pueblo County. It is home to 878 residents and borders nearby Pueblo, Colorado, and the Arkansas River.

History

Blende, like much of the area surrounding Pueblo, was once home to steelworkers at the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company which was formerly controlled by the heirs of John D. Rockefeller and Jay Gould. After the company was sold and then later mostly closed down, the local economy shifted to ranching and irrigated farming, though there are still a few metal-product industries in the area. Pueblo now houses a Steelworks Museum in the former CF& Medical Dispensary that features exhibits related to CF& I's impact on the American West.

Local Businesses

Nearby businesses include Milberger Farms, a 400-acre fresh produce farm on St. Charles Mesa. In addition to providing fresh produce, the farm hosts a corn maze and pumpkin patch every October and a cruise night on Fridays throughout the summer months. The Hope thru Hooves organization offers equine-assisted learning programs to individuals and families. Howes Brothers Piano company sells fine instruments and offers piano tuning and repair. The Montano concrete company provides materials for construction and jobs for local residents.

Recreation

Fans of old-school drive-in movie theaters will love the Mesa Drive-In. The theater, which was built in 1951, shows both recent blockbusters and a variety of nostalgic favorites. The surrounding area provides multiple entertainment options, including white water rafting and river running on the Arkansas River, Whitewater Park, numerous museums and galleries, the Pueblo Zoo, Lake Pueblo State Park, the Pueblo City golf course, and several other national forests, state parks, and wildlife preserves.

Weather Risks
