The area around Eastonville began settlement around 1872 when a post office was established a mile to the south of its eventual location on Squirrel Creek.

The area was located in the Black Forest of Colorado and was found to be suitable for potato farming and many pioneers homesteaded in the vicinity.

It had three churches, three hotels, a newspaper, a school house, race track, ball field, and many businesses.

Colorado Springs newspapers would print large advertisements offering work at respectable wages on the potato farms of Eastonville.

[2] Although little remains but a few buildings and the cemetery,[4] as of May 2013 the United States Board on Geographic Names still lists Eastonville as a populated place.
