History


Frisco was founded by Henry Recen, in 1873, and was built because of the Colorado Silver Boom, which began in 1879.[6] Frisco was incorporated in 1880.[7] The town's name does not come from the popular nickname for the city of San Francisco, California, but is rather named after the popular Frisco Lines Railroad in hopes of it bringing the rail line to the town.


Geography


At the 2020 United States Census, the town had a total area of 1,139 acres (4.609 km2) including 69 acres (0.278 km2) of water.[3] Frisco is located along the coast Lake Dillon, a reservoir constructed between 1961 and 1963 that now covers the original town of Dillon. Across the water to the east are the new town of Dillon, Silverthorne, and Keystone. To the southeast is Breckenridge.
