[edit] Beginnings
Like many parts of the Colorado Front Range, the first residents of Reunion were Native Americans. The area was populated by a number of nomadic tribes, including the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. The first European explorers of Reunion were Spanish but area land claims rewarded the land to France. Reunion was in the Louisiana Purchase when it was sold to the United States in 1803.
