History

Floyd Hill is named after Merril H. Floyd, head of the Clear Creek Wagon Road Company that operated in the 1860s. Mr. Floyd owned a ranch on a hill in the area and the land around the hill, which became known as "Floyd's Hill", where his company built a wagon road over from Idaho Springs to Bergen's ranch.

On February 24, 1873, the Colorado Central Railroad completed a rail spur from Forks Creek 3.3 miles (5.3 km) to Floyd Hill.

The Floyd Hill, Colorado, post office operated from September 9, 1912, until June 30, 1937. [6] The Evergreen, Colorado, post office (ZIP code 80439) now serves the area. [5]
