Julesburg, Colorado the only Colorado Stop on the Original Pony Express RouteJulesburg, Colorado

Population: 1467 (2002 Census)
Location: Northeast corner of Colorado
Major Interstates: I-76 & I-80
County: Sedgewick County Seat
History: Walking through this quiet town situated along the South Platte River, it's hard to believe Julesburg was once the wickedest city in the West. It's true though — the city got its start as a Pony Express stop and, by the time the Union Pacific Railroad laid tracks through town in 1867, Julesburg was sin city. Entirely burned to the ground two years earlier by American Indians in retaliation for the Sand Creek Massacre, the new town was anything but improved.
