Our Mission:
“To maintain a small town atmosphere, while encouraging community pride and
responsible economic growth.”
The Town of
Elizabeth has been in existence as a small, stable community since the late
1890’s. Located in the western portion of Elbert County, Elizabeth is
approximately 45 miles southeast of Denver. The Town is sited at an elevation of
6,530 feet and is set in a unique pine forested area. Elizabeth has been
recognized as Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation. The primary
transportation access to the Town is Highway 86 which runs in an east/west
direction.
The Town of
Elizabeth is largely influenced by its proximity to communities in Douglas
County, including Parker, Castle Rock and the Denver metropolitan area.
Approximately 80% of the population of Elbert County live in western portions of
the county and around the Town of Elizabeth. Many residents commute to Denver
and its southern suburbs to work and shop. The Town’s future is, therefore,
closely tied to the growth potentials of Colorado’s Front Range communities.
