About Matheson

Matheson is an Elbert County census-designated place and post office on Colorado's eastern plains, with the wide-open school-district geography of Big Sandy 100J. The townsite was named for Duncan Matheson, its original owner, and the post office still uses ZIP 80830. Matheson is counted within the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metropolitan area, a reminder that Colorado's rural edges can sit inside a far larger regional map. The 2020 census counted 79 residents.
