History

The town of Mace's Hole was settled in 1862. [2] The town was named for Juan Maes, anglicized to "Mace," a bandit who used the valley for a hideout. [5] The Mace's Hole, Colorado Territory, post office opened on April 23, 1873, [6] and Colorado became a state on August 1, 1876. [7] A local preacher took umbrage at the town's name and suggested the biblical name Beulah as a more wholesome alternative. [2] The Mace's Hole post office was renamed Beulah on October 25, 1876. [6] The name is a reference to Isaiah 62:4; [8] it comes from the Hebrew for "married." [9]

Bishop Castle, constructed by Jim Bishop, otherwise known as a "one man castle", is located between Beulah and San Isabel, Colorado.
