The town of Garibaldi was established by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad in 1870. The town served as the southern terminus of the Rio Grande's narrow-gauge Poncha Pass line from 1870 to 1890. The town was named for Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi. The Garibaldi Post Office opened on June 13, 1870.cite book | last = Bauer | first = William H. | coauthors = James L. Ozment, John H.
