History

Manassa was located a short distance from two ranches purchased by the Mormons from Hispanos on the south side of the Conejos River, across from Los Cerritos. However, one year later the railroad bypassed the colony, and instead passed through Romeo, Colorado, just three miles to the west. Most of the other citizens of Manassa are the descendants of the Mormon pioneers who founded Manassa in 1879, and named the town after a son of the Israelite, Joseph. The selection of the land for the colony was made on the assurance that the railroad would soon be built nearby. With a population of 1,042 at the United States Census 2000 census, Manassa is the largest community in Conejos County.
