Founded in 1892 and incorporated in 1907, the Town's economy was based on coal mining, agriculture, and ranching. Over the past decades, the town has developed as a service center for residents of the Surface Creek Valley and tourists traveling the Grand Mesa National Scenic and Historic Byway, and recreating on Grand Mesa. With the development of its exceptional 18 hole golf course, the area has attracted a rich diversity of individuals from all backgrounds and locations. Artisans, writers, farmers, shopkeepers, lawyers, doctors and retiree's from everywhere make up the town. A result of this diversity has been the opening of a number of fine art galleries, unique gift stores, antique shops, eateries and wineries.
