About Superior, ColoradoSuperior Colorado, was founded in 1896 and incorporated in 1904, reportedly being named after the "superior" quality of coal found in the area. Mining was the major force in Superior's history until the Industrial Mine closed in 1945. Subsequently, many people moved out of the area and the Town evolved into a quiet ranching and farming community. Superior's population was around 250 until the mid-1980s. In 1987, the Town approved a proposed development southeast of the original town. The new development is known as Rock Creek Ranch. Although the land was subdivided in 1987, development continues today. Over 1900 single-family homes and 1600 multi-family homes have been developed in Rock Creek swelling Superior's population to approximately 11,000. There is now a second development west of the original town, called the Sagamore subdivision.
