Saint Elmo, Built in 1878 in a heavily forested area, the town was first called Forrest City. As soon as the number of houses, hotels and stores warranted, the town was incorporated with a new name, Saint Elmo.  The name derived from a popular novel at the time called "St. Elmo".  St. Elmo is unique because the buildings are preserved not restored. At first, the town was of high moral character. When the population passed the 2000 number, it took on all the trappings of a single male population with saloons, dance hall, bawdy houses and the like. 

 St. Elmo has been labeled Colorado's Best Preserved Ghost Town in  "God's Country"

There is a general store that operates May-October. The regular natives consist of Chipmunks and Deer, this is a great little Ghost Town.
