Helping to build Old Colorado City and Colorado Springs, Colorado and philanthropist
Irving Howbert (April 11, 1846–December 22, 1934) was a pioneer of the Pikes Peak region,[1] businessman, investor, politician, and philanthropist. He helped William Jackson Palmer establish the municipality of Colorado Springs. As county clerk and recorder, as well as a real estate agent, he sought and attained land for what would become Colorado Springs. Investments in mines and railways fostered the mining industry and transportation of ore.
As a young man, Howbert fought in the Sand Creek massacre while serving the 3rd Colorado Cavalry Regiment.
