Prowers County was formed in 1889. In the late 19th century, the arrival of railroads led to the development of agriculture and towns and in the 20th century, the county became an important center of the sugar beet industry. Today, Prowers County continues to be one of the most productive agricultural counties in the state.
Prowers County is home to the Big Timbers Museum, with a collection of artifacts from early settlement days and the Dust Bowl Era.
The Southern Colorado Economic Development District assists local communities with accessing grant and loan funding opportunities, administrative and technical assistance, data and technology resources and other Partner Management Services.
