Prowers County, Administrative county in southeastern Colorado, United States.
Prowers County spans 1,644 square miles of flat terrain and rolling hills, with vast agricultural lands supporting corn and wheat production throughout the region.
The county was founded in 1889 and received its name from John Wesley Prowers, an early settler who established significant cattle operations in the Arkansas Valley.
The Granada Relocation Center National Historic District and Santa Fe National Historic Trail preserve important elements of regional settlement and migration patterns.
Residents and visitors access county services at the administrative center in Lamar, which operates from Monday through Friday between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM.
