Saguache County, Colorado was created in 1866. In 1893 a small piece was split off and added to Mineral County.
Parent counties were: Costilla and Lake.
The County seat is the town of Saguache.

The Ute Indians, who camped here before the settlement of the Whites, called it "Sa-gua-gua-chi-pa", which means blue earth or water at the blue earth. Shortened to Saguache (Sa-watch), has been a tongue-twister through the ages.
Saguache County is 3,168.7 sq. miles and has an estimated 1999 population of 6,176 people.
