Dacono was incorporated on May 21, 1908. Charles Baum named our City by choosing the first two letters from three ladies' names: Daisy, Cora and Nora to form Dacono.

Dacono is a friendly, growing community of approximately 3,700 people in southern Weld County, 20 miles north of Denver, Colorado. This area is also commonly known as the Carbon Valley or Tri-Town area.
