Timnath History
|
Settlers in the Big Thompson Valley were scattered on small farms along the banks of the river. To the west of the present-day city of Loveland was a community started in 1858 by Spanish-speaking Mariano Medina. Medina ran a trading post and operated a toll bridge over the Big Thompson River. The small settlement went under various names including Miraville, Merival, Big Thompson and Mariano's Crossing. In 1862, it became a stage stop on the Overland, and in 1868, a post office was established under the name Namaqua.
