Avon/Beaver Creek

Early English immigrants named the town Avon because the area reminded them of their homeland’s Avon River Valley…or so the story goes. The Town of Avon was incorporated in 1978 and continues to revere its ranching and agricultural heritage, and founding families while growing its reputation as the commercial hub in the heart of the valley. Avon offers big store and specialty shopping, housing, recreation, and lodging in all price ranges. Dramatic public sculptures – most in bronze – punctuate the mountain views in Avon. – (eaglecounty.us)
