Pea Green is such a teeny, tiny Colorado town that if you blink, you might just miss it. Here's what and where you can find Pea Green in Western Colorado.

The town of Pea Green is in Montrose County, between Delta and Olathe and is 5,307 feet in elevation. It's a farming and ranching town, with Olathe sweet corn everywhere.

Pea Green was established near a spring called Buttermilk Gulch in the late 1800s. The town allegedly got its name because of the color of its original schoolhouse -- which was pea green.

The town got its name from this schoolhouse, which was built in 1912. First grade through the twelfth grade were all taught in this school. This school closed in 1968 and was used as a store and restaurant for a while.
