Biohazard and Pathogen Disinfection in Frisco, CO

Frisco is a home rule town in Summit County, in Colorado's central high country, and is part of the Breckenridge micropolitan statistical area.

Frisco was founded in 1873 by Henry Recen during the Colorado Silver Boom, was chartered in 1879, and was incorporated on December 3, 1880.

The town's name does not come from San Francisco; it was taken from the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, nicknamed the Frisco, in hopes of luring that rail line to town.

Frisco was one of the few Colorado mining towns to survive the Great Depression, though by 1930 its population had fallen to only 18 people before the ski industry revived it in the 1960s.

Frisco had a population of 2,913 at the 2020 census, up 8.6% from the 2010 count.

The 2020 census counted 1,380 households and 3,349 housing units in Frisco, the gap reflecting its large stock of second homes and vacation properties.

The town sits at an elevation of about 9,097 feet on the western shore of Dillon Reservoir, where Ten Mile Creek meets the Blue River.

The Frisco Historic Park and Museum on Main Street preserves original nineteenth-century log buildings, including a schoolhouse, a chapel, a pioneer home, and a jail.

Frisco was designated a Preserve America Community in March 2006 in recognition of its historic preservation work.

Frisco's historic Main Street is the town's commercial heart, and its central Summit County location near several major ski areas makes it a year-round basecamp for the county's resorts.
