The Colorado legislature established Eagle County in 1883 from Summit County sections, initially placing the county seat in Red Cliff before relocating to Eagle in 1921.
The Eagle County Fair and Rodeo brings together local communities through agricultural exhibitions, competitions, traditional performances, and regional food specialties.
