They had come along the main Overland trail to Fort Laramie but discovered the first groups of Mormon Pioneers from Nauvoo had stopped for the winter at Council Bluffs. Rather than turn back to join them; a trapper named John Renshaw led them down to a small adobe trading fort called El Pueblo which was thought to be a more suitable place to spend the winter. They made their camp about a half-mile south of El Pueblo. </p><p>While encamped in Pueblo the settlement was also joined by 3 different groups of the <a href="/wiki/Mormon_Battalion" title="Mormon Battalion">Mormon Battalion</a> arriving between September 1846 and January 27, 1847. With the arrival in January, the population of the colony reached 289 people. This temporary colony was the first branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Colorado. The settlement is also widely believed to be the first Anglo settlement in what is now the state of Colorado. The settlement also was the home of the first Anglo born child in Colorado; Sarah Emma Kartchner. </p><p>In April 1847, the first members of the settlement began their trek north to Fort Laramie where they were waiting when Brigham Young arrives in June 1847. By the fall of 1848, all the members of the church had left the Pueblo settlement.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The first mission was established in the area in 1896 and the first congregation of the LDS Church in Colorado was organized in January 1897.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Denver_Colorado_Temple" title="Denver Colorado Temple">Denver Colorado Temple</a> in <a href="/wiki/Centennial,_Colorado" title="Centennial, Colorado">Centennial</a> was completed in 1986.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Fort_Collins_Colorado_Temple" title="Fort Collins Colorado Temple">Fort Collins Colorado Temple</a> was formally dedicated by <a href="/wiki/Dieter_F._Uchtdorf" title="Dieter F.
