T
he Town of Eaton
engenders innovation,
history, and industry.
Eaton is named after the
fourth governor of Colorado,
Benjamin Harrison Eaton, who
was a pioneer of irrigation and
who played a leading role in
transforming the arid prairie
of the Front Range into a
thriving agricultural region
with water brought from the
nearby mountains in the late
19th century. Today Eaton is the
center of support and services for
surrounding farms and families.
Much of the town’s business and
industry is related to agriculture.
Eaton is also a center of
the energy boom. The Eaton
Industrial Rail Yard is a hub for
transporting materials used in
the production of oil and natural
gas, in addition to moving
agricultural products, and
manufacturing and construction
materials on the Union Pacific
Railroad.
