Description:
Trinidad Electric, later known as Frontier Electric, took up the challenge. With a price tag of $64,741, the company laid 53 miles of power lines through Huerfano County’s wildest stretches. On July 19, 1948, the lights finally came on in the Valley at Cuchara Camps. Though the system served just 144 rural families, it marked a turning point in the valley’s history.Added to timeline:
