Welcome to the Town of Coal Creek About Coal Creek

Coal Creek is a historic community in Fremont County, Colorado, with roots dating back to 1860 when coal was first discovered in the area. Officially incorporated on January 10, 1882, the Town grew into a thriving mining community known for its independent spirit and diverse population. Unlike many mining camps of its time, Coal Creek was an open camp where residents could own homes, operate businesses, and build a strong community. Today, Coal Creek proudly preserves its rich history while providing quality municipal services and maintaining the small-town values that make it a wonderful place to live and visit.
