About Sugar City
Sugar City is a tiny, peaceful community in southeastern Colorado's Crowley County, home to around 250 residents. Located along Highway 96, the town got its memorable name in 1899 when the National Beet Sugar Company built a large processing factory here. The plant closed in the late 1960s, but the town still holds onto its quiet grid of residential streets and deep agricultural roots.
Life in Sugar City centers around wide-open plains and nearby water, sitting right next to Lake Meredith and just south of Lake Henry for easy fishing, camping, and boating. Everyday essentials, schools, and government offices are a quick five-minute drive west in neighboring Ordway. For people looking for affordable living, open skies, and genuine small-town peace, Sugar City delivers a simple and friendly rural lifestyle.
