The Town of Crestone
(4th of July celebration)
Crestone was incorporated in 1875. This rural mountain town grew from a tent city in the late 1890s to one of the larger, more prosperous towns in the state. By 1901 the Sangre de Cristo Railroad, a subsidiary of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, had a spur to Crestone. Today, the small town is the commercial center of the area, providing services to the community.
