About Us
The Town of Eaton is located 7 miles north of Greeley, Colorado on US Highway 85. This town of about 4000 people is a legacy to the hard work and foresight of Colorado Governor Benjamin Eaton, who helped found the town in 1892 and was responsible for the beginning of crop irrigation in the area. The community sits at the gateway to the Rocky Mountains, a mere 30 miles to the west, and is surrounded by some of the most productive farmland found anywhere.
