History
Founded in 1861
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Clear Creek County was created by Colorado Territory from non-county area on November 1, 1861. Grand County was temporarily attached to Clear Creek for legislative, legal and judicial purposes in 1874, but was fully organized and detached later that year.
