In 1859, the eastern part of Taos County, including all of the territory of Colfax County, was split off to form Mora County. Colfax County was established on January 25, 1869 from the northern part of Mora County. The original county seat was the gold mining town of Elizabethtown.
The eastern portions of Colfax, Mora, and San Miguel counties were severed to form Union County in 1893.
