Norrie was originally settled in the late 1880s. It began as a camp for railroad workers building the Colorado Midland Railway route along the Fryingpan River. The workers harvested trees used in the railroad construction, and they made ice in the local ponds, ice used in the railroad's refrigerator cars. Now, many privately-owned summer cabins line the community's quiet streets.[5]
