History
[edit | edit source]A post office called Masters was established in 1900 and remained in operation until 1967.[2] The community was named for a local rancher, who owned the land the town was built on.[3]
Masters was located on a rail line from LaSalle to Julesburg, which was built by the Colorado Central Railroad.[4] A siding was built to the north of the post office, near the banks of the South Platte River.[5] The rail line was abandoned by the Union Pacific Railroad in the 1990s.[6]
