History of Westcliffe
Westcliffe was incorporated in July 1887 and is named for Westcliffe on-the-Sea in England, the birthplace of Dr. William A. Bell.
Dr. William A. Bell owned the ranch that the original town of Westcliffe is platted on and began to sell his subdivided lots after convincing the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad to extend its rail line to his property in 1881.
Today, Westcliffe is the county seat. Call the Westcliffe town hall at 783-2282 for more information.
