History
The Southern Ute Agency was established in 1877 to serve the Capote, Wiminuche, and Moache bands of Ute Indians who had been attached to the Abiquiu and Cimarron Agencies in New Mexico. Located in southwestern Colorado, it also served the Jicarilla Apache from 1887 to 1891. In 1922, the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Agencies were consolidated into the Consolidated Ute Agency.
