Haybro's Story

Haybro was once a small community in Colorado. It had a post office that helped people send and receive mail. This post office was open for many years, from May 15, 1918, until July 15, 1951.

The name "Haybro" comes from two brothers, the Hayden brothers. They owned a coal mine in the area. People often shortened "Hayden brothers" to "Haybro," and that's how the town got its name!
