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.
