The No Pingree Task Force, according to a recent release, is working to change the name of some geographic features in Larimer County that bear the name of George Pingree due to his connection to the atrocities of the Sand Creek Massacre.
John Gascoyne, spokesperson for the task force, said the group is hoping that they can take Pingree’s name out of the area and replace it with the name of a man more fitting of remembrance: Silas Soule.The group is looking to change the Pingree in areas across Northern Colorado, including Pingree Park Road, Pingree Hill and the Pingree Park area. However, this would take a good deal of work, Gascoyne said.
Gascoyne said according to federal guidelines they must coordinate with the federal government as well as the local U.S. Forest Service to see if a name change can be accepted and agreed upon and, if the change is accepted, a naming commission will choose the new name. Over roughly eight hours, troops killed around 230 Cheyenne and Arapaho people, primarily women and children. In the afternoon and day following the killing, soldiers “wandered over the field committing atrocities on the dead before departing the scene on Dec.1 …,” according to NPS.
While it held the name Pingree Park Mountain campus for around 100 years, the campus was officially renamed the Colorado State University Mountain Campus in 2015, according to CSU.
