Costilla County is one of the original Colorado Counties. Parts were split off to form 1866's Saguache County, 1874's Rio Grande County and in 1913 to form Alamosa County.
Mineral Colorado GenWeb and the other San Luis Valley GenWeb county pages Alamosa , Conejos, Costilla , Mineral, Rio Grande & Saguache are looking for contributors and other volunteers to help with expanding the resources of the San Luis Valley Genealogy Web project (part of the Colorado GenWeb and USGenWeb) so other researchers can find and make use of them. If you have any information or know of any links you would like to see on this site let me know. Especially we would like volunteers to help with the grave stone transcription and photo project, Colorado Grave Stone photo Project.
The town of San Luis turned 150 years old in 2001. If you would like more information, call the San Luis Visitors Center at (719) 672-3002. Or click on San Luis.

This list covers the six counties of the San Luis Valley; Alamosa , Conejos, Costilla , Mineral, Rio Grande & Saguache County. This has been done so researchers can have one list for the San Luis Valley counties. Residents of the valley often lived in more than one county.
