Larkspur CO Real Estate

Local Government -Douglas County, Colorado

The area known as Larkspur is a home rule municipality in the state of Colorado.

.....Early Larkspur was a major lumbering site for railroad ties, telegraph poles and firewood with millions of board feet harvested from the area. With the railroads providing a shipping point, mining was also a large industry with gypsum, red sandstone and potash. With 2 sawmills, a blacksmith shop, hotel, 2 general stores, a post office, school and even a casino, the population soared at the turn of the century. Although ranching was the mainstay of the area, Larkspur and Perry Park were touted as health resorts. People from both Colorado Springs and Denver would come by rail to enjoy the fresh air. A stage line would take people to Perry Park with trumpeters and dancers waiting to greet the coach. Today Larkspur is more known for it's annual Renaisance Festival than its place in history.
