| History |
In 1884, merchant Rudolph Kremmling established a general store on a wagon route that served Middle Park ranchers from what is now Summit County. In 1904, the town of Kremmling was incorporated and in 1906 the Moffat Railroad arrived. Today, Kremmling maintains its identity as a ranching community and haven for sportsmen and outdoor recreation enthusiasts. |
