Punkin Center is a small, rural Unincorporated community in Lincoln County, Colorado, United States at the intersection of State Highway 94 and State Highway 71.[3][4] John Stevens built the first store at the farmers crossroads in 1920. He painted each new building a pumpkin color, inspiring the name. Everything burned in the 1950s.[1] Its mostly white population was 4 according to a Denver Post article.[5] There is a communication tower near the intersection of the highways, and a larger communication tower about 3 miles southwest of the intersection. The Post Offices at Hugo (ZIP Code 80821) and Ordway (ZIP 81063) serve Punkin Center postal addresses.[2]
