Winter Park began as two small settlements, Old Town and Hideaway Park, CO. Old Town came into existence because of the construction taking place on the Moffat Tunnel. Hideaway Park was a village that began in 1932 and quickly developed into the fourth town in the valley. It was started, developed, and built by L.O.(Doc) Graves, merchant in the valley since 1922. Doc eventually built 26 tourist cabins and a multi-faceted cafe and service station operation called " Docs' Place". It might have been called the 7-Eleven of its day. On August 1, 1978 the town was founded and became Winter Park. In 1980 Winter Park grew again incorporating the West Portal Village. The West Portal Village became the home of the Mary Jane Base and various other buildings at the resort such as the Iron Horse Resort. Most recently, the ghost town of Arrow, CO which is at the western base of Rollins Pass was annexed into the town marking the beginning of the massive Arrowhead development.
