History
Idalia was originally founded in 1887 as Alva. The Alva, Colorado, post office operated from August 6, 1887, until September 18, 1888, when the name was changed to Idalia. The community derives its name from Edaliah Helmick, a pioneer settler.
Located on the Eastern Plains of Colorado in southern Yuma County, approximately 150 miles east of Denver and 15 miles from the Kansas border, Idalia has been home for many generations of families. The primary industries of the area are farming, ranching, and natural gas production. The community has many amenities for a small rural community, including the Idalia Vision Foundation, Inc., two churches, local Co-Op, convenience store, restaurants, and a motel. A new Kindergarten through grade-12 school building opened in the fall of 2013 providing state-of-the-art educational programs & facilities.
