Eaton is named after Benjamin Eaton, a pioneer of irrigation who played a leading role in transforming the arid prairie of the great plains into a thriving agricultural region with water brought from the Rocky Mountains. Today, nearly all the farming ground in Colorado depends on the irrigation systems engineered by Eaton.
