Welcome to Bent County, home of the communities of Las Animas, McClave, Hasty, Fort Lyon, and Caddoa.
Bent County is located on the Arkansas River and the Purgatory in Southeast Colorado. These rivers provide water for irrigation, recreation and wildlife. The Santa Fe Trail traverses the north side of the Arkansas River and lies parallel to US Highway 50. This is country life, but convenient to large cities.
The Bent County Development Foundation (BCDF) is ready to assist you with your relocation and business needs from access to financing, state and federal development programs and knowledge of industry leaders to help your industry develop and prosper.
