History
The town of Mace's Hole was settled in 1862.[3] The town was named for Juan Maes, anglicized to "Mace," a bandit who used the valley for a hideout.[6] The Mace's Hole, Colorado Territory, post office opened on April 23, 1873,[7] and Colorado became a state on August 1, 1876.[8] A local preacher took umbrage at the town's name and suggested the biblical name Beulah as a more wholesome alternative.[3] The Mace's Hole post office was renamed Beulah on October 25, 1876.[7] The name is a reference to Isaiah 62:4;[9] it comes from the Hebrew for "married."[10]
Bishop Castle, constructed by Jim Bishop, otherwise known as a "one man castle", is located between Beulah and San Isabel, Colorado.
