Erie real estate

A former coal town that straddles the Erie-Weld County line about eight miles east of Erie, is working to improve services and commercial opportunities for its residents. The town was settled around 1867 by the Rev. Richard Van Valkenburg, a Methodist pastor who named the town after his hometown in Erie, Pennsylvania. In 1874, Erie was incorporated. Today, the population is estimated to be around 6,500 and the town covers six square miles. Within its borders is the 119-acre Tri-County airport, serving Erie, Weld & Adams counties. The biggest change to hit the town in this century is the advent of paved streets and new sidewalks in Old Town Erie. New housing subdivisions are being planned and built, and commercial ventures are being developed. A new shopping center is giving the town an unprecedented influx of sales tax revenue.
