Pierce Town Awakens as Water Underflow Boosts Irrigation
A new town at Pierce grows around a flag station with a water tank supplying UP engines. Locals organize a town company, plat four blocks, sell lots up to $100 a pair, and note the post office, school, and first business builds. Wells nearby show irrigation potential, with farmers reporting productive crops without full irrigation. The plan includes Larimer canal laterals and possible rail extensions as Denver News cites.
