Akron

From its beginning as a frontier town on the prairie to currently being one of the largest agricultural producing areas in Colorado, Akron has been a thriving community. Akron was founded in 1882 as a major stop on the Burlington Northern Railroad. That history is evident as you browse through the Washington County Museum, located in the old railroad depot.

Folks interested in recreation can enjoy the 9-hole Washington County Golf Course just south of Akron, the Akron Fishing Ponds, the Akron swimming pool, or one of several parks scattered throughout the town. Akron’s historic library beautifully combines the charm of a turn-of-the century building with all the services of a full service library in this computerized age.
