History of Erie, Colorado


Coal mining and railroads combined in 1871 to create two history-making events in Erie. The Boulder Valley Coal Company opened the Briggs Coal Mine, the first in Weld County, and the Union Pacific Railroad added a spur to its main line passing through Erie on its way from Denver to Cheyenne. In the decades previous to 1870, before the northern coal mines opened along with Erie’s access to the railway, the town’s settlers were farmers and merchants.  These settlers depended on stagecoaches or horses to get not only coal delivered but also the mail and other merchandise. At that time, a daily coach from Denver to Laramie was the only transportation connecting the scattered communities of the front range.

Reverend Richard Van Valkenburg, a circuit-riding Methodist minister who preached the gospel in these isolated agricultural areas, became one of Erie’s first founders.  In 1867, he gave the town the same name as his birthplace, Erie Pennsylvania.

By 1874, when Erie was incorporated, farming gave way to coal mining.  In a mutually beneficial alliance, the Erie region mines provided the coal to feed the steam locomotives and the trains themselves were a means of shipping coal to distant markets.  During this coal mining period, the town of Erie flourished and became one of the largest in the county. After the “coal boom”, the town returned to its agricultural roots.

A delightful occasion commemorating Erie’s past is sponsored by the Erie Historical Society and celebrated every year. Biscuit Day dates from the 1890’s when town bakers provided the biscuits and the town’s women brought homemade stews and gravies and the whole town feasted.  Now, Biscuit Day is held in mid-September to welcome the fall season and in addition to a delicious meal, there is a farmers market, contests for homemade jams and jellies and crafts, a quilt raffle and a variety of activities for children.
