About Coal Creek

Sitting in the foothills of Fremont County, Coal Creek is a quiet, close-knit community with deep roots in Colorado's mining past. It got its start in the 1870s as a lively boomtown where miners could actually own their houses and open shops. Today, with roughly 350 residents, it offers a relaxed, rural feel with wide-open skies and mountain scenery. Everyday conveniences, groceries, and dining are only a short drive away in neighboring Florence, making Coal Creek a great option for anyone looking for peaceful, small-town living.
