Castle Rock Co Real Estate

Homes in Castle Rock Co

Castle Rock Real Estate, Colorado. Castle Rock was founded in 1874 when the eastern Douglas County border was redrawn to its present location. Castle Rock was chosen as the county seat because of its central location. The region in and around Castle Rock was originally used by Indians of the Arapahoe and Cheyenne tribes. They occupied the land between the Arkansas and the South Platte Rivers. White settlers were drawn by rumors of gold and by land opened through the Homestead Act of 1862. One of the first settlers in the area near today's Castle Rock was the original homesteader, Jeremiah Gould. He owned about 160 acres to the south of "The (Castle) Rock." At that time, the settlement consisted of just a few buildings for prospectors, workers, and cowboys.
