Kremmling is located in the pristine Colorado River Valley of western Grand County. And if you haven't been there by now, do yourself a favor this season and check it out. Especially if you're into recreation.
Kremmling lives up to its more than appropriate nickname, "A Sportsman's Paradise," through its innumerable offerings of backcountry exploits perfect for those in search of adventure. From Gold Medal Fly Fishing, dude ranches, ice fishing, snowmobiling and mountain biking to the exhilaration of the annual Ididarace Sled Dog Race, there's excitement to be had in Kremmling.
From the earliest Ute Indians who bathed in the Hot Sulphur Springs and hunted buffalo on the open plains of Middle Park to the white settlers and pioneers who founded settlements and towns upon the promise of railroads, golden riches and a new life on the frontier, Grand County holds a fascinating wealth of historical treasures and resources.
Kremmling sits along the upper Colorado River in the lower arid section of Middle Park between Byers Canyon and Gore Canyon. The town is located approximately at the mouth of the both the Blue River and Muddy Creek, which descend respectively from the south and north, providing valley access to Dillon and Steamboat Springs.
Kremmling was founded in 1881 during the Colorado Silver Boom days, but the lack of mineral resources in the nearby mountains made the town grow very slowly in the early days.
The area started as a general store run by a man the name of Rudolph "Kare" Kremmling. He had his store on the north side of Muddy Creek. In 1881 two brothers, Aaron and John Kinsey, made part of their ranch into a town and called it Kinsey City. Kare moved his store across the river to the new site and soon people were calling this place Kremmling.
The name Kremmling was not officially recognized until 1895.
