Why is it masculine?

Pueblo is masculine because it derives from the Latin "populus" (meaning "people" or "population"), which was a masculine noun, and Spanish retained this grammatical gender through sound changes that dropped the final -us ending. The word's masculine gender is thus a direct inheritance from Latin rather than following any particular Spanish gender rule.
