Sterling, founded in 1881, is located in the
South Platte River Valley. The area boomed during
the years the Overland Trail was heavily traveled
(1858-1869) but later many communities became ghost
towns. Ruins and old foundations still exist
throughout this area (these can best be seen along
county roads and in fields).
