History
Kremmling was first called Kinsey City, and had a post office from 1881 to 1885. By 1895, the town was known as Kremmling, named after its founder, Rudolph Kremmling. In 1906, the railroad reached Kremmling and the town became a major shipping point for the region. Today Kremmling is a quiet mountain town with a population of about 1,500.
