The town population was 800 as of the 2010 United States Census.[4] HistoryCol. John M. Francisco, the sutler at Fort Garland, and his business partner, Henry Daigre, purchased 48,000 acres of land in Cuchara Valley in 1862. The land was part of the Vigil land grant. They established a settlement for farmers and ranchers, with Francisco Fort as the commercial center.[10] The 100-foot-square building was constructed with 2-foot thick adobe walls, interior rooms, that opened up to a central plaza. It was built with a flat roof with gun ports along the parapets. In 1863, the fort was attacked by a bank of Ute people. Men got on the roof to defend the fort, and a volunteer rode to Fort Lyon. The Utes retreated, though, before the troops arrived.[10] In 1871, the settlement was named Spanish Peak and a post office was established. New settlers came to the area with the arrival of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. The narrow gauge railroad, which crossed La Veta Pass, was the highest U.S. railroad pass at the time. A depot was built one block north of the fort and the town was platted by the railroad in 1876. The fort is now operated by the Huerfano Historical Society.[7] A post office called La Veta has been in operation since 1876.[8] The community was named for a mineral deposit near the original town site, La Veta meaning "mineral vein" in Spanish.[9] GeographyLa Veta is located at {{Coord|37|30|28|N|105|0|29|W|type:city}} (37.507681, -105.008038).[10] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|1.37|sqmi|km2}}, all of it land. At one time (1919) there were sulphur springs in La Veta owned by Dr. Acker. They were last managed by W J Pierce of Colorado Springs (see http://www.kmitch.com/Huerfano/news1915.html) Demographics{{US Census population|1880= 165 |1890= 361 |1900= 254 |1910= 691 |1920= 737 |1930= 782 |1940= 897 |1950= 701 |1960= 632 |1970= 589 |1980= 611 |1990= 726 |2000= 924 |2010= 800 |estyear=2016 |estimate=777 |estref=[11] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[12] }} As of the 2010 United States Census, there were 800 people, 415 households, and 222 families residing in the town.
