Do you know of Cucharas ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Cucharas. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Cucharas.<1>

Our sources for Cucharas (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Cucharas other than they indicate that Cucharas would be found somewhere in Huerfano County, Colorado.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1872 and closed  in 1921.
