Pioneers traveling west would stop there for supplies. Soon
many of them decided to settle and by 1904 Kremmling was home to 30
landowners and 140 residents.
In 1906 the Denver, Northwestern and
Pacific railroads reached Kremmling. To celebrate the event, citizens
organized a free fish fry in town, complete with elk and antelope
barbecue and a public reading of the Declaration of Independence. In
1912, the first fair, now known as the Middle Park Fair, was organized
by W.H. Harrison.
This is an area that strives to keep the Western heritage
alive. Many ranches are in the area and it's not uncommon to
see cowboys riding the range or herding cattle. |
