What
About Our Town?
The town of Kremmling, Colorado lies at the
confluence of Muddy Creek and the Blue and Colorado Rivers in
Grand County, about 100 miles west of Denver. In 1884, Rudolph
Kremmling established a general store in the town, and as ranchers
occupied the surrounding areas, more services were established
in Kremmling to meet their needs. The town incorporated in 1904.
Kremmling's central location in Colorado's northern Rocky Mountains,
combined with abundant recreational opportunities, excellent
school system and good potential for growth, make it the perfect
place to live, work and enjoy everything Colorado has to offer.
A friendly, small-town atmosphere has influenced many families
and businesses to settle in Kremmling - a town where it's easy
to be involved if that's what you want and just as easy to "get
away from it all" in the thousands of acres of Bureau of
Land management and U.S. Forest Service land surrounding Kremmling.
Just a two hour drive from Denver, Kremmling has easy access
to every need.
