Holy Cross National Forest was established as the Holy Cross Forest Reserve by the U.S. Forest Service in Colorado on August 25, 1905 with 990,720 acres (4,009.3 km2). It became a National Forest on March 4, 1907. On August 7, 1920 Sopris National Forest was absorbed. On January 1, 1945 the entire forest was transferred to White River National Forest and the name was discontinued. [1]
