Castle Rock - Castle Rock, incorporated in 1881, is nestled in the heart of Crowfoot Valley, surrounded by rocky buttes and featuring stunning views of the Rocky Mountains. Named for the prominent rock formation that overlooks the Town, Castle Rock features several planned developments tied together by its historic downtown. First settled in the 1870s, the Town soon became a center for rhyolite mining and an important station for north-south railroad traffic. The Town has grown from 3,900 people in 1980 to an estimated 35,000 in 2005, and retains its small-town character and distinct community boundaries. The small town charm, beautiful views and unique culture attract more than 2,500 new residents annually.
