History

Originally known as Bradford Junction in the 1860s, a stagecoach stop for those traveling southwest to South Park. The town dwindled in the 1890s when the railroad replaced the stagecoach road.

 

In the early 1900s, the area became known as Conifer, and was mainly used for cattle ranching, which still exists in some parts of the town today.
