Antero was the first dam on the South Platte River. Antero is derived from the Spanish word "first," as it was the first dam on the South Platte River near the river's origin. Originally built in 1909, this earth-fill dam is believed to occupy the site of a former lakebed, probably no more than 300 years old. Green Lake is submerged within Antero Reservoir.
