With a long (emphasis on long) time in this industry, we searched for a more effective, and up to date way to get our readers our informational magazine.

The first idea was “we could produce books with information about a county and set up distribution points so new movers could find out the attractions, events, and also aware new-comers of local businesses, but wait how would that help customers that,
haven’t decided yet, or people that don’t pick up magazines like this, and what if we produce too many we would just be hurting the environment, so we came up for away to solve all of those problems.

As of the 2010 census, the town had a population of 48,231. History The region in and around Castle Rock was originally home to Native Americans of the Arapahoe and Cheyenne nations. They occupied the land between the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers. White settlers were drawn to the area by rumors of gold and by land opened through the Homestead Act of 1862. However, it was the discovery of rhyolite stone, not gold, that ultimately led to the settlement of Castle Rock. Castle Rock was founded in 1874 when the eastern
Douglas County border was redrawn to its present location. Castle Rock was chosen as the county seat because of its central location.
