The Town of Dillon was incorporated on January 26, 1883 at the site of a trading post and stage stop. The Town was moved three times; once to be closer to the railroad, a second time to be located between three rivers - the Blue, the Ten Mile, and the Snake. The third move began in 1956 when the Denver Water Board told the townspeople that they must sell their property and be out of town by 1961. The final location for the Town of Dillon was selected on the shore of the new reservoir where the town continues to thrive today.

The Town of Dillon is a full service community with a year-round resident population of approximately 750. Dillon's beautiful location in the heart of Summit County provides an unrivaled scenic backdrop for an abundance of summer activities. Its close proximity to the famous Summit County ski areas makes it a convenient spot for winter vacationers. The many condominiums and motel rooms bring the peak population to about 4,000 people.
