History The town of Mace's Hole was settled in 1862. The town was named for Juan Maes, anglicized to "Mace," a bandit who used the valley for a hideout. The Mace's Hole, Colorado Territory, post office opened on April 23, 1873, and Colorado became a state on August 1, 1876. A local preacher took umbrage at the town's name and suggested the biblical name Beulah as a more wholesome alternative. The Mace's Hole post office was renamed Beulah on October 25, 1876. The name is a reference to Isaiah 62:4; it comes from the Hebrew for "married."

Bishop Castle, constructed by Jim Bishop, otherwise known as a "one man castle", is located between Beulah and San Isabel, Colorado.
