Karval History
Rich Agricultural Heritage
Tilghman P. Hersperger established a ranch at the head of Adobe Creek in 1872 about five miles from present day Karval. ‘Uncle Til’ tamed wild horses in the area, bred them, and sold them, some of his animals eventually serving with the British Army in the Boer War.
Karval Nature
Conserving and Enjoying
Karval boasts the scenic, open landscapes of the Eastern Plains of Colorado. The area is enjoyed by fishermen, hunters, birdwatchers, photographers, campers, and hikers. Star-gazers also find Karval to be a great location to set up a telescope. Clear air and minimal light pollution make for a stellar feast. For those who enjoy broad, open expanses of land and clear, blue skies, Karval is a true haven.
Karval School
