Strasburg's agrarian roots and historic significance

Over 40 miles east of Denver, farmland surrounds Strasburg, a community at the center of many historic moments. “It is a rural, small town on the plains that has an agrarian feel and past,” says Ella Gleason, senior long range planner with Adams County Government. Today, agriculture remains a major local industry, even as Strasburg grows more suburban, with developers building subdivisions and commercial areas.

Dining on East Colfax Avenue and shopping in Bennett

Locally owned restaurants are on East Colfax Avenue, including Salinas Mexican Food and the coffee shop Beans Place. “There’s not much there currently. One of the oldest buildings was a hardware store that just closed, and it sold everything,” Gleason says. “As far as what’s coming, we have a developer just west of the corner of Colfax Avenue and Wagner Street developing a strip mall shopping center, about five storefronts, nothing huge.” With limited retailers in Strasburg, residents do most of their shopping in Bennett, which has a King Soopers market and a Tractor Supply Company.

Beans Place is a local favorite for coffee, pastries and friendly chats.

From a historic railroad depot to interstate connections

One of the town's biggest claims to fame is as the location of the final spike of the transcontinental railroad, though it's also highly disputed. Promontory, Utah, is widely accepted as the place of the golden spike. Strasburgians argue that Promontory’s tracks did not cross the Mississippi River and Strasburg’s last spike was the real linking of the two coasts by rail. The railroad put Strasburg on the map, and today, the once bustling railroad depot is the Comanche Crossing Historical Museum, which contains a collection of antiques and artifacts. Interstate 70, the main thoroughfare, ties the area to nearby towns, such as Bennett, about 7 miles east, and Denver. With 230 nonstop flights, Denver International Airport is around 35 miles away via I-70.
