Kiowa County, County in eastern Colorado, United States.
Kiowa County is an administrative division covering the eastern plains of Colorado with Eads as its county seat. The landscape consists primarily of open grassland and agricultural land spread across a large but sparsely populated area.
The county was established in 1889 during Colorado's period of territorial expansion and settlement. This creation reflected the broader movement to organize and develop the state's eastern plains region.
The residents of Kiowa County maintain connections to agricultural traditions through local farming practices and seasonal community gatherings.
The county operates on Mountain Time and is crossed by several highways that converge at Eads. The sparse settlement pattern means visitors should expect longer distances between towns and services.
With fewer than one resident per square kilometer, this county ranks among Colorado's least populated areas. This sparse settlement creates long stretches of uninterrupted grassland and wide-open horizons.
