Phillips County is located on the beautiful high plains of Northeastern Colorado. It is one of the most productive farming and ranching regions in our country. Agriculture is the main product with excellent dryland and irrigated cropland to grow wheat, corn, beans, popcorn and alfalfa. You'll also find several fine livestock and feedlot operations. Phillips County is proud of our focus on tradition, family and values. The County excels through its schools, education opportunities, healthcare, access to technology and a friendly clean atmosphere. Holyoke, Haxtun, Paoli and Amherst are the towns located in Phillips County which has a population of 4472.
We are proud of our wonderful quality of life and cost of living we have to offer along with the local events, festivals and abundant wildlife. Our local businesses are able to provide all of the essential services to Phillips County residents. Phillips County is a wonderful place to raise a family or age gracefully with activities for all ages.
The climate, growing season, precipitation, surface and ground water, soil characteristics, and natural vegetation make the area conducive to farm and ranch production.
