Welcome!
Williamsburg is a Statutory Town in Fremont County, Colorado, near the Cañon City metro area. We have a rich history of coal, oil and gas production that dates back over 100 years. According to the 2010 census we have a population of 662. Residents enjoy living in the rocky terrain and dry climate typically found along the southern front range of the Rocky Mountains. Our elevation is a pleasant 5,390 feet. The Town's demographics include an estimated median income of around $35,000. Our median home cost is also very reasonable at $113,300.
Not only do we enjoy a great climate and lower cost of living, but many of our residents have beautiful views of the south side of Pikes Peak and of the Upper Arkansas River Valley.
