The Town of Kersey is a Statutory Town in Weld County, Colorado, United States. The population was 1454 at the 2010 United States Census.

History

Elbridge Gerry established a trading post called Fort Gerry on the South Platte River near the present-day town of Kersey, Colorado in the 1830s. He had two Native American wives who helped him run the post. In 1840, Gerry abandoned the site and built a post on the south bank of the river.[6][7] Gerry is said to be the first white man to settle in what is now Weld County.[8]

A post office called Kersey has been in operation since 1894.[9] A railroad official gave Kersey the maiden name of his mother.[10]
