Location Description:
Keota is a mostly abandoned town located on the
prairie in the Pawnee National Grasslands in Weld County. Keota was established
as a homestead in 1880 by two sisters, Mary and Eva Beardsley and sold to the
Lincoln Land and Cattle Co. in 1888. Keota was a station stop on the "Old
Prairie Dog Express" on the Colorado-Wyoming Division of the Burlington
Missouri -Railroad. The railroad was abandoned and the trackage removed in
1975. Keota lost its incorporated status in 1990. The last operating post
office closed in 1890. The school was established in 1888 and closed sometime
in 1951. The foundation is still there.
