Monument Rock, the formation from which the town derives its name

Monument's first homesteaders arrived in 1865 to mark out the town's preliminary shape, but settlement increased when Monument became a stop along the Rio Grande Railroad in 1872. The area was incorporated as a town called Henry's Station, after prominent settler Henry Limbach, on June 2, 1879, and the first town meeting was held July 3, 1879. [10] However, three years later the name was changed to Monument after Monument Creek and Monument Rock in the west. [11] The first records of the town can be found in various volumes in the El Paso County Courthouse dating back to 1872. [11] With the help of the railroad, which brought in necessities, people started small businesses and started to create a town.

Monument Creek, a gentle mountain stream beginning in the Rampart Range, eventually tumbles down through Palmer Lake and the west side of Monument to become one of the main waterways flowing south through Colorado Springs. [13] The town of Monument is situated on the southern slope of Palmer Divide, a significant geographical feature which separates the Arkansas and South Platte basins. According to the United States Census Bureau, Monument has a total area of 4.6 square miles (12 km2), all of it land.

Monument is a home rule town and is under a home rule charter. [16] This means that the governmental policy is established by the Town Council. There are seven council members, including the mayor. The mayor is considered part of the Town Council, and has the same power as the other council members. Council members are elected for overlapping 4-year terms, and the mayor is elected for four years as well. A vacancy in office will be filled by council appointment or by voters at a regular or special election. There is a set term limit of two consecutive terms for the mayor and council members. All regular and special meetings must be open to the public, and people must be given the opportunity to be heard.

By Colorado law, Monument is a school-choice community. Because of this, there are opportunities for public schools, [17] private schools, [18] charter schools, [19] and home schooling groups. [20] The public school system is Lewis-Palmer School District 38. Lewis-Palmer District ACT scores (at 23) are about 20% higher than the average state scores (at 19) in the two high schools, Palmer Ridge and Lewis-Palmer. [21] The Lewis-Palmer district as a whole performs 15-20% better on CSAP tests than the Colorado state average. [22] There are five public elementary schools in District 38: Lewis-Palmer Elementary, Palmer Lake Elementary, Kilmer, Prairie Winds Elementary, and Bear Creek Elementary. There is one public middle school serving all of District 38: Lewis-Palmer Middle School. Monument Academy is the only charter school and serves grades K through 12.

Organizations

The residents of Monument support and participate in many different organizations. It is home to various types of churches, such as Presbyterian, [23] Catholic, [24] Lutheran, [25] Mennonite , [26] Methodist, [27] and nondenominational. [28] [29] Monument has several organizations that are unique to the community, and also several nationwide organizations. Some notable organizations in Monument include:

Transportation

The greater Monument area is bisected north/south by interstate 25 and can be accessed via exits 158 and 161. Interstate 25 passes over the top of Monument Hill which frequently experiences hazardous road conditions, particularly in the winter months; automobile accidents and traffic jams are common in this stretch of interstate [35] [36] [37] which serves as the primary land connection between Colorado's two largest population centers: Denver and Colorado Springs. State Highway 105 also runs east/west through Monument.

A section of railway (formerly, the Colorado and Southern Railway, now owned by BNSF) also runs parallel to interstate 25 through Monument that is used primarily for coal transport; there is currently[ as of? ] no passenger service on this rail line.

The only form of public transportation that exists in Monument is a park and ride bus stop for the Bustang, Colorado's interregional express bus service. [38] Rideshare services like Lyft and Uber are becoming more accessible in Monument as a benefit of the town's close proximity to Colorado Springs. Lyft and Uber currently[ as of? ] service all of Monument and much of the Tri-Lakes area as part of their Colorado Springs services. [39]

Climate

Monument experiences a hemiboreal continental climate (Köppen Dfb) with warm, relatively rainy summers and cold, snowy winters. As with many areas of Colorado, Monument experiences a lot of sunshine with an average of 250 sunny days per year[ citation needed ]. The semi-arid climate keeps the dew point very low in Monument year-round and causes the air to feel quite dry. [40] Monument is part of the Front Range urban corridor and lies on the southern slope of Monument Hill. The town is situated near the western terminus of the Palmer Divide, a low-grade ridge that extends Eastward from the Front Range and has a significant impact on Monument's climate. With the top of Monument Hill reaching 7,352 feet above sea level, Monument is one of the highest communities in the Front Range urban corridor. [41] The combination of high elevation, uniquely situated geography, semi-arid climate, and freezing cold winter months causes the town of Monument to receive considerably more snow each year than its neighboring cities. Colorado Springs (20 miles to the South) receives an average of 33 inches of snow per year and Denver (53 miles to the North) receives an average of 56 inches of snow per year, whereas the town of Monument receives an average of 110 inches of snow per year.
