The first land grants in [[Colorado]] were given by Spain and Mexico. When the United States acquired the area in 1848, it agreed to recognize these claims. The claims were processed by the U.S. Surveyor General from 1855 to 1890. Some claims processed in the New Mexico office before 1862 relate to land that is now in Colorado. | The first land grants in [[Colorado Genealogy|Colorado]] were given by Spain and Mexico.
