EAGLE HISTORY
                                                             A BRIEF HISTORY OF EAGLE

Learn about Eagle’s early Days...
                                                  The history of the Eagle area begins with prehistoric
                                                  hunter-gatherers who were in the region as early
                                                  as about 12,000 years ago. By the late 1800’s,
                                                  EuroAmerican explorers and trappers had arrived.
                                                  New boomtowns with names like Redcliff, Astor
                                                  City, Gold Park and Holy Cross City sprang up in the
                                                  Upper Eagle River Valley as word spread nationwide
                                                  about gold and silver strikes. Thousands of hopeful
                                                  prospectors came for a chance at a fortune. One
                                                  of these enterprising individuals was named
Williams Edwards, who in the mid-1880s bought a 156-acre site at the confluence of the Eagle River
and Brush Creek. He declared the parcel to be a town and named it Castle. After a few name changes,
Castle would become Eagle and would serve for more than a century as the commercial hub for the
surrounding mining, ranching and agricultural communities. Eagle itself was a farming and ranching
community, raising cattle, hay and potatoes.

                                                The Town’s early years were marked by a number of
                                                interesting events. The Town’s carousel of changing
                                                names included Brush, Eagle River Crossing (to
                                                freight and stage drivers), Rio Aquilla, Spanish for
                                                “Eagle River,” and McDonald. By the mid 1890s,
                                                with the moniker Eagle firmly and finally in place,
                                                the Town had begun to take on the trappings of a
                                                full-fledged community. It had its own newspaper, the
                                                Eagle County Examiner, and was becoming home to
                                                a rapidly growing number of businesses. The Denver
                                                & Rio Grande Railroad came to Eagle in 1887, and in
1900, with a Town population of 124, the Methodist Church was built. The Town was officially platted
and incorporated in 1905.

Throughout the first several decades of the Town’s existence there was a move to have Eagle replace
Redcliff as the county seat. In 1921 the voters approved the measure. The first electric lights appeared
on July 5, 1927. By this time, Broadway had taken on an appearance similar to what it is today.

Eagle has always maintained a cohesive community spirit, one that often shone brightest in early days
at Woodman Hall. Opened in 1936 and located where the present-day Brush Creek Saloon stands,
this fraternal order served as a community gathering place and cultural center of sorts. Fourth of July
celebrations also bonded the community, as did the annual Eagle County Fair and, later, Eagle Flight
Days, all of which continue today.
