Originally settled in 1849 as La Plaza de los Manzanares,[2] Garcia rivals San Luis as the oldest continuously occupied settlement in Colorado.[3] A post office called Garcia was established in 1915.[4] The community was named for the local Garcia family.[5]
The historically significant, but long-unused, adobe Garcia School[6] [7] is being considered for renovation and return to school use by the Centennial School District.[8]
