Coal Creek, located in Eastern Fremont County, Colorado, is recognized as the oldest coal camp in the state, having been first settled in the early 1870s following the discovery of coal. Incorporated in 1882, the town thrived in the late 19th century with a vibrant community characterized by numerous businesses, a baseball team, and a brass band, attracting visitors from across Colorado.

Today, Coal Creek is a close-knit residential community with a population of under 500, known for its peaceful rural atmosphere and beautiful natural surroundings, including Pikes Peak and the Wet Mountains. Residents enjoy the benefits of small-town living while being in proximity to larger towns like Canon City and Colorado Springs, valuing low traffic levels and an overall slower pace of growth to preserve the town's unique character.
