Ordway
by the Previous Mayor of Ordway, Nancy Moore
Welcome to Ordway! Ever wish you could live where you could walk
or ride your bike to the grocery store and the drug store; have your
choice of places to eat; find what you need at the local lumber
yard; meet your neighbors at the post office; watch a school
activity? The list goes on and on. In Ordway, the living is easy;
the climate is the best in the state; the people are friendly.
Churches are welcoming. It is a great place to live, and it is an
exceptional opportunity for people who no longer have to live in the
big cities. There are many recreational, cultural and social
experiences in town or nearby. Ordway is the county seat and the
location of the Crowley County High School, Ward Middle School, the
Crowley County Elementary School and an excellent new library. A new
County Courthouse and newly remodeled Justice Center are located
here. There is also an excellent nursing home in Ordway. We have
wide streets lined by shade trees. The City picks up our leaves and
grass. Trash pickup is provided once each week. How great is that?!
Crowley County Days takes place in shady Conestoga Park in the
center of town always during the last week of July. If you want to
enjoy a treat and a little bit of "good old Americana", come visit
us then and enjoy the parade and roast beef feed on Saturday. This
is rural Colorado at its best. It’s also a great opportunity to look
the town over. We think you will find this is a very special place
not only to visit but also to live! Retirees are discovering Ordway.
If you don’t have to endure the pressures of the big cities, you
should check us out.
