Julesburg

Tucked along the South Platte River on Colorado’s northeastern High Plains, Julesburg is a town whose character is shaped by the river corridor and the long routes that crossed it. Named for trader Jules Beni, the original settlement developed as a stop on the Overland Trail and the Pony Express in the 19th century. Nearby Fort Sedgwick, established in 1864, recalls the military presence that followed these transport routes. Today’s Julesburg took shape when the settlement moved to the railroad in 1886, and it remains the seat of Sedgwick County.
