Earl, Colorado

August 22, 2023

Earl is an unincorporated community in Las Animas County, in the U.S. state of Colorado.[1]

History

A post office called Earl was established in 1895, and remained in operation until 1923.[2] The community most likely bears the name of an early settler.[3]

The Earl School, built in 1909 and apparently a rural schoolhouse, survives and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[4]
