The population was 4,471 at the 2010 census.[4] The Battlement Mesa post office has the ZIP Code 81636.[3] The community, which bills itself as a "covenant-protected community", is primarily a group of contiguous subdivisions developed in the later decades of the 20th century, catering to families and retirees. It is located on the flank of a hill on the south side of the Colorado River, across from the older town of Parachute. The two communities together are known as "Parachute-Battlement Mesa". The town takes its name from Battlement Mesa, an {{convert|11000|ft|m|adj=mid|-high|-2}} basalt-topped mesa that sits to the south of the town. HistoryThe community was first developed by an oil company as a residence for its workers in the expectation that the rising price of oil would make shale oil extraction economically viable. When adjusted oil prices fell, the housing estate was left as a stranded asset, and the oil company marketed it to retirees in conjunction with a real estate firm.{{citation needed|date=September 2011}} The Battlement Mesa Schoolhouse stands as a testimony to education.
