Ivywild, Colorado, is a subdivision of Colorado Springs south of the downtown, west of Cascade Avenue and along Cheyenne Creek. It is one of the city's oldest working-class neighborhoods. ==Early history== Before Europeans settled in the area, Cheyenne set up tepees at the confluence of the Fountain and Cheyenne Creeks when they traveled through the area. About 1859, Irving Howbert and his family settled near the creeks. The following year, John Wolfe settled along Cheyenne Creek. Ivywild was established in 1888 and platted by William B. Jenkins, a rancher and miner, who created 43 lots when he subdivided his ranch. His wife Annie named the town. She was a large stockholder of Ramona Mining Company. Her father, William Iles, was the owner of Manitou Springs first hotel, La Font. Ivywild had a post office by January 1892. The Ivywild Improvement Society held annual meetings by 1898, when they discussed the high water rates and taxes. The organization filed suits in 1917 regarding public utility service to the community. Dorchester Park was named for Joseph Dorchester, a water rights attorney, who established water rights for Cheyenne Canon and Ivywild. The Iowa native operated a hay farm after having settled in the area in 1874. The park is located across the creek from the site of Dorchester's farm. John H. Bacon, a mayor of Colorado Springs in 1880, lived in Ivywild by 1900.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Col.
