Elizabeth

Elizabeth, initially called Russellville, was originally a sawmill camp located on a transportation route to Denver. The town was later named after a family member of John Evans, a territorial governor. The town has had a post office since 1882 and was incorporated in October 1890. The economic activity of the Town revolved around logging, farming, cattle ranching, and dairy farming. These activities served the needs of the residents of Elizabeth and Denver as well.
