A Little History: The town is the name sake of Colorado's Judge Silverthorne, known as the "hanging judge". He was an early Summit County settler and judge from the late 1800's known for his "no nonsense" ways. Silverthorne's real estate was actually a convenient place to move buildings to from the old site of the town of Dillon. The town of Dillon had to be moved in order to allow for the new Lake Dillon reservoir which was to supply Denver with water. Dam construction began in 1964. The old Dillon site is now at the deepest spot in lake. The original post office and general store were both moved from old Dillon. The Old Dillon Inn Mexican restaurant, known for its neon "BA" sign, was also relocated from the old Dillon. 

The Eisenhower Tunnel, which eliminated the need to go over Loveland Pass to get to Summit County from Denver, was finished in 1973. The Tunnel goes through the Continental Divide near Loveland Pass and Loveland Ski area. The tunnel links the real estate in Silverthorne Colorado's Summit county with Denver via I 70 as well as many major ski resorts. With the boom in snow skiing during the late 60's, real estate in The town became the local community for the seasonal workers who were employed by Summit County's ski industry.  These ski areas include Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin, Vail and Beaver Creek. The new interstate also opened the way for many commercial businesses including City Market, Summit County Factory Stores and many others.
