Wellington Cleanup and Restoration

Wellington was named for C.L. Wellington, an employee of the Colorado and Southern Railroad.  It was founded in 1902 and incorporated in 1905.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Bryon White lived in Wellington as a child.  Before his physical health worsened significantly in 1991, he made a point of returning to Wellington on an annual basis for his high school reunions.

In the early 20^th century, especially during the years of prohibition, Wellington doubled as a place to drink and a service town for drivers commuting from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Fort Collins, CO. 

In 2000, woolly mammoth remains were discovered by a construction crew while digging home foundations.  CSU, Colorado State University, sent a team to carefully excavate and preserve the bones of the extinct animal.  Unfortunately, upon hoisting the remains out of the excavation site the tusks crumbled inside of the protective forms that were previously built around them.  Rear molars and parts of the skull of the mammoth are housed at CSU after being donated by the Burrus family (the developers of the project), who also kept molars of the animal.

Wellington experiences a semi-arid climate when high temperatures in the summer ranging from 85-90 degrees.  Along with the cold in the winter, Wellington has high dry temperatures in the summer.
