The town was home to much silver in the late 1800's. There is some discrepancy as to the origin of the name Alma, but needless to say, there were many people of the same name in this city. One of the most notable events that happened in Alma was the day some Mexican drove a flock of sheep into nearby Bucksin Joe.

This Colorado mountain community turned almost into a ghost town in the late 1800's when one of the miners at Buckskin Joe's came down with small pox and dyed shortly thereafter. The virus spread throughout the whole town, but one resident, a dance hall girl named Silverheels, helped nurse many of the sick back to health when no one else would. She too came down with the virus toward the end of the epidemic and the towns folk took a collection of money to help her out. When they went to her house to give it too her, she had fled never to be seen again. A nearby mountain is named Mt Silverheels in her honor. It is rumored that many years later a heavily veiled woman was seen walking among the graves but before anyone could get to her she had vanished.
The population of the town is around 200 and contains 147 housing units. It remains the HIGHEST Elevation for an Incorporated Town in Colorado at 10,578 feet above sea level.
