Yampa History
Gateway to the famed Flat Tops Wilderness, Yampa began as a hunting camp in the 1880s. Freight wagons and stagecoaches were prominent in town and later, agriculture and a booming lumber industry in the forests surrounding Yampa kept life buzzing.
The Egeria Park region encompasses the Town of Yampa. A visit here will take you back in time to a slower paced way of life that endures today as ranching and agriculture continue to be our mainstays.
