The Town of Vail
is a Home Rule Municipality in Eagle County, Colorado, United States. The
population of the town was 5,305 in 2010. Vail was incorporated in 1966, four
years after the opening of Vail Ski Resort. The ski area was founded by Pete
Seibert and local rancher Earl Eaton in 1962, at the base of Vail Pass. The
pass was named after Charles Vail, the highway engineer who routed U.S. Highway
6 through the Vail Valley in 1940, and eventually became Interstate 70. Source
