Crowley County, Colorado

Welcome to our County!

Crowley County is one of Colorado’s best places to relax and unwind. Fishing, camping, boating, jet skiing, bird watching, bicycling, you name it we got it. In many ways, Crowley County is Colorado as it was intended to be.

Crowley County is located in the high plains of Southeast Colorado. Ordway, the County seat, lies about 50 miles east of Pueblo at the intersection of U.S. Highway 96 and Colorado Highway 71. Crowley County is a rural community with a diverse population. Many residents are a blend of ranchers and farmers, those involved in government and education, and many who are employed by the correctional industry. Due to the mild climate, easy lifestyle and low cost of living, Crowley County is a great place to live.
