Kremmling is rich with western history and heritage. Kremmling is named after Rudolph Kremmling, a businessman who opened a trading post on the north side of Muddy Creek in 1884. Pioneers traveling west would stop in Kremmling for supplies. However, many decided to settle here and by 1904 Kremmling was home to 30 landowners and 140 residents. In 1906 the Denver, Northwestern and Pacific railroads reach Kremmling. To celebrate this joyful event, citizens organized a free fish fry in town, complete with an elk and antelope barbeque and a public reading of the Declaration of Independence. In 1912, the first fair, now known as the Middle Park Fair, was organized by W.H. Harrison. For more information about Kremmling and Grand County please visit Grand County Historical Association.
