Dacono, Frederick and Firestone
These communities are up for adoption
Situated in the southwest corner of Weld County, the communities of Dacono,
Frederick and Firestone, known collectively as the Carbon Valley (or Tri-Town
area), offer a majestic panorama of Colorado's Rockies. Wide open spaces with
room to grow, small town atmosphere, close proximity to large metropolitan
cities, small acreage ranchettes and large farming operations characterize this
rural setting, Industrial and commercial requirements are met through existing
business parks. Transportation is a plus as the area is adjacent to 1-25. This
prime location ensures that the area will become a major industrial center.
All three communities were incorporated in 1908. In its early days the area was
a primary underground mining area. In fact, many of the mine shafts still exist
today and can be found intact under the streets of Frederick.
