Welcome to Eaton, Colorado. The town is named after former Colorado Governor, Benjamin Harrison Eaton. He was a pioneer of irrigation and played a leading role in transforming the arid prairie of the Great Plains east of the Front Range into a thriving agricultural region with water brought from the nearby Rocky Mountains in the late 1800s. Much of the farming country around Eaton depends on the irrigation systems engineered by Governor Eaton to this day. The Town of Eaton is located about 7 miles north of Greeley, Colorado on US Highway 85. The community sits at the gateway to the Rocky's, a mere 30 miles to the west, and is surrounded by some of the most productive farmland found anywhere.
