Communities: Castle Rock

Historic Castle Rock was incorporated in 1881. Our community offers a small town charm, great shopping and restaurants. 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 about 29,000 in 2003, and retains its small-town character and distinct community boundaries. Clear days and blue skies are the norm with an average of 255 days of sunshine a year. The average high temperature is 85 degrees in the summer months and 44 degrees in the winter. Annual snowfall is 62.2 inches and the average humidity is 40 percent. Castle Rock provides several indoor and outdoor leisure opportunities including the Community Recreation Center, 400 acres of parks, the Red Hawk Ridge municipal golf course, and the soon-to-be opened Hidden Mesa open space. Residents and visitors can also enjoy a full range of shopping experiences from downtown boutiques to department stores and the Outlets at Castle Rock, or enjoy dining on anything from fast food to gourmet. The small town charm, beautiful views and unique culture attract more than 2,500 new residents annually.
