Rifle is a city located in Garfield County, Colorado, situated along the Colorado River. The city got its name in 1882 when a surveyor left a rifle leaning against a tree, and the area became known as "Rifle Creek."

Originally a ranching community, Rifle grew with the discovery of oil shale deposits in the early 20th century. The city is surrounded by natural attractions, including the Rifle Falls State Park, known for its triple waterfall, and the Rifle Gap State Park. The area's history is closely tied to energy development and agriculture, while also serving as a gateway to outdoor recreation in western Colorado. The downtown area features historic buildings that reflect its evolution from a frontier town to a modern small city.
