Cordova's Dream. Into the Heart of Spanish Peaks Country. J. J. Cordova (1856 - 1929). Jose De Jesus Cordova
was a man well known in this part of Colorado. For over forty years, he operated a ranch near Aguilar.
Cordova served his community well and was elected to three terms as a Las Animas County Commissioner. He
dreamed of a road from Aguilar to Cuchara Pass and finally secured funding for the road project in 1928.
The road was completed in 1934 by the Works Progress Administration / Civilian Conservation Corps (WPA/CCC)
and dedicated to J. J. Cordova in 1935. The road and pass were renamed in J. J. Cordova's honor in 1978.
