The population was 1880 at the 2010 United States Census. Limon has been called the "Hub City" of Eastern Colorado because Interstate 70, U.S. Highways 24, 40, and 287, and State Highways 71 and 94 all pass through the town. The Limon Correctional Facility is part of the Colorado Department of Corrections system and is a major employer in the area with employment of roughly 350.

I have been quilting for 18 years and visited many, many quilt stores. The Quilted Heart is at the top of the list! It is a delightful shop with a wonderful large selection of quality fabrics. So glad I found it and stopped in. The owner is friendly and engaging and even offered space for me to sit and sew. (I don’t have a lot of space in our RV.) Don’t miss this gem!

Remarkable museum with more information, pictures and exhibits about life in the early West than you get in most big city museums! We stopped in Limon for lunch, saw there was a town museum and thought we could spare a half hour before hitting the road again. 3 hours later we dragged ourselves away because we had to check in at our final destination for the day. We were fascinated by personal recollections from citizens who recalled the early 20th century at once was the crossroads of trains and automobiles traveling east and west through Colorado. Of course, Limon also the scene of a devastating tornado strike in the 1990s. Well worth a stop if you are heading in either direction - but the trains don't stop here anymore :-(
