A post office called Masters was established in 1900 and remained in operation until 1967. The community was named for a local rancher, who owned the land the town was built on. Masters was located on a rail line from
LaSalle to
Julesburg, which was built by the
Colorado Central Railroad. A siding was built to the north of the post office, near the banks of the
South Platte River. The rail line was abandoned by the
Union Pacific Railroad in the 1990s. ==References==
