Colorado Springs was founded in 1872 by Civil War hero and railroad magnate Gen. William J. Palmer, who envisioned a city of culture -- thus its nickname, "Little London." Today, the city has a population of 376,400 and a metro population of 609,000. Colorado Springs is a military town, with a half dozen military installations and a slew of defense contractors. It's also a tourist destination, with the southern edge of the Rocky Mountains and Pikes Peak as a backdrop. Its low crime rate, good schools and natural beauty make it popular place to live.
