ABOUT EVANS

Nestled south of Greeley off of Highway 85, Evans is now close to 25,000 in population. Oil and gas jobs abound here, with 83% of all crude oil and 56% of all natural gas production in the state coming from Weld County.

Known as the "Queen City of the Platte" when incorporated in 1869, Evans was the county seat of Weld County for many years. From a population of around 400 in a true wild west town, Evans has grown into an urban area with a rural feel. For a long time Evans was the only town in the area to allow liquor and gambling, which made it the center of activity in the area.

Today Evans is a community where residents have a wide choice of housing, great schools, all the shopping and amenities of a large town, and a great quality of life. With over 300 days of sunshine each year and a full four seasons, many people relocate to Evans to experience the best of northern Colorado.

Residents enjoy over 300 acres of parks and open space, several hiking and biking trails along the river and within the town, easy access to the Denver International Airport, and quick drives south to Denver or west to the Rocky Mountains. Access to I-25, US 85 and US 34 provide for great transportation options. Evans is a wonderful place to raise a family, start a business, and buy a home.
