History
The community was named after John Strasburg, a railroad official. Strasburg may now be considered a commuter community as new housing continues to be built and much of the populace works in the surrounding areas of Aurora, Brighton, and Denver.
The town is built next to the Comanche Crossing of the Kansas Pacific Railroad. A post office called Strasburg has been in operation since 1908.
On January 27, 2001, a plane carrying two Oklahoma State Cowboys basketball team players and six broadcasters and coaching staff crashed near Strasburg. All 10 people on board died.
