The Town of Limon is a Statutory Town that is the most populous town in Lincoln County, Colorado, United States. The population was 2,071 at the 2000 census. Limon has been called the "Hub City" of Eastern Colorado because Interstate 70, U.S. Routes 24, 40, and 287, and Colorado State Highways 71 and 86 all pass through the town.[6] 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. The local Limon High School Football team is highly regarded and respected throughout the area, providing a sense of local pride with their dominance of 1A Football. Under the leadership of Coach Lloyd Gaskill the Limon Badgers won 10 state championships compiling a record of 236-52-8 under his tenure. In 1969 the local Football field was renamed as "Lloyd E. Gaskill Field," in his honor. In 1992 Lloyd was inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame. Limon is listed as the official AASHTO control city for signs on Interstate 70 between Denver and Hays, Kansas, although westbound signs in both Colorado and Kansas often omit Limon and list the larger city of Denver. Limon is the western terminous of the Kyle Railroad and it is here the shortline interchanges with the Union Pacific Railroad.
