Established on March 9, 1877, Custer County was named in honor of Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer. The county’s early economy was significantly influenced by a silver rush during the 1870s, attracting thousands of prospectors to the area. Over time, as mining activities declined, cattle ranching became the predominant industry, shaping the county’s rural character. The county seat has moved several times, from Ula to Rosita, then to Silver Cliff, and finally settling in Westcliffe in 1928. Today, Custer County is known for its rich history, agricultural heritage, and stunning natural landscapes, including the Wet Mountain Valley nestled between the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Wet Mountains.
