When Aspen was booming during the Gold Rush in the late 1870s, Carbondale became the perfect spot for farmers and ranchers to settle and produce food for the miners. Potatoes became the main crop in the area for close to 50 years.
Carbondale was incorporated on January 31, 1888, and was named after the hometown of many early settlers: Carbondale, Pennsylvania. The economy and population went through highs and lows as mining moved out of Aspen and the Great Depression hit.
Eventually in the 1960s, Aspen became a hub for skiing and Carbondale’s main industry shifted to tourism. Retail and housing developed at a rapid rate, and continue to do so today. The town takes pride in maintaining a deeply rooted sense of community through all of its recent growth.
