Simla is a small town way out in the Colorado eastern plains on HW 24 well east of Colorado Springs and not too far from where HW 24 and I-70 meet before continuing east to Kansas. Simla became a town in 1912 and continues to be a hub of the potato farmers in the area today.

Simla really is in the middle of nowhere Colorado and feels like Kansas at that point that far east, you can no longer see the mountains in the west and would have to drive for a couple hours to get to the front range.

The average household income in Simla is about $30,000 a year, below the Colorado average. If you are a farmer looking for land there are possibilities here otherwise the schools are not very strong and you would be very far away from mountains and amenitites.
