History
Founded in 1873 (and officially chartered in 1879) by Henry Recen, Frisco was built because of the Colorado Silver Boom, which began in 1879. Frisco was incorporated on December 3, 1880. The town's name comes not from San Francisco, California but, rather, the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway, commonly known as the Frisco, in an attempt to lure the rail line to the town. (Frisco, Texas, is also named after the railroad.)
At one point Summit became the sixth wealthiest county in the United States, however by 2025 wealth inequality and housing costs in the Frisco area had become so extreme that many workers there, ranging from ski instructors to emergency room nurses, were forced into homelessness even despite continuing to maintain their jobs. Homeless employees of local ski resorts are permitted to sleep in their cars in local lots only if they can prove their employment.
