A Salute to General William Jackson Palmer.

You may not know the name, but our city of Colorado Springs is beholding to him.  He was a 19th century railroad builder who founded our fair city as a resort town.  You see, railroads brought tourists and visitors to the area from other parts of the United States and abroad.  In the early days, the city was on the junction of seven railways.

Fast forward to the 20th century when NORAD The North American Space Defense Command was located within the city.  Things really got rolling in the 1960’s!  The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak Community College, and Colorado Technical University were established in our fair city.

Today, Colorado Springs is the home of nearly half a million people.  Here at Altitude Heating and Air Conditioning we are proud to serve the HVAC needs of that population which continues to grow.  From all of us at Altitude Heating and Air Conditioning to your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
