Superior grew out of coal. Coal was found on the Hake homestead in 1864, and the Industrial Mine was running by 1895 and operated until 1945. The town was founded in 1896 and incorporated on June 10, 1904, and its name is said to refer to the superior quality of local coal. Superior voters adopted a home rule charter in December 2024.
Superior is served by the Boulder Valley School District, including Superior Elementary and Eldorado PK-8. Students typically attend Monarch High School in neighboring Louisville.
School assignments depend on the exact address. Confirm boundaries with the district's school locator before you buy.
US 36 runs along Superior's northeast edge, putting Boulder about 10 minutes away and downtown Denver within a short drive. Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport is just to the southeast.
