SUPERIOR
The town of Superior was incorporated in 1904 as a mining town. It was named Superior due to the superior quality of the coal that was mined there. It is located in Southeastern Boulder County and provides easy access to the city of Boulder and other major metro areas. Superior is a very small town, but has a lot to offer. With over 500 acres of parks and open space, it is the perfect place for the outdoor enthusiast. There are also plenty of restaurants to enjoy as well as shopping. If it’s a small town feel with easy access to larger surrounding areas, Superior may be the place for you!Superior Colorado Location Map
