Colfax County War
The Colfax County War was a range war that occurred from 1873 to 1888 between settlers and the new owners of the Maxwell Land Grant. The land owners planned to remove what they perceived as squatters who were indiscriminately jumping on pieces of land that now belongs to them. The farmers and miners who had settled and invested their livelihood in the grant did not abide to the new owners and so violence erupted in 1875.
