Older than Greeley

Evans was the first town platted in Weld County, filed on November 22, 1869, almost a year before Meeker's settlers founded Greeley. It was first called Stage, then named for John Evans, Colorado's second territorial governor, and it served as county seat twice in the 1870s before Greeley took over.

Evans has about 22,394 people (U.S. Census Bureau estimate, July 1, 2024) and is Greeley's largest suburb, about 5 miles south on US-85. Neighborhoods like Platte Valley and Riverbend sit close to the South Platte River corridor and its trails.

DaVinci Park opened in 2024 with a pump track, a covered picnic shelter and a soft-surface walking trail. Homes here range from mid-century houses in Sundown to 2000s and 2010s homes in Hunters Reserve.
