By 1887, the Midland Railway had come which further developed the area. The town was incorporated on 1 December 1890. Due to its natural beauty, Woodland park quickly became a resort town, but also due to the plentiful forests it became a business center for the area with lumber being the primary business. Many logs were used by the railroads and underground gold mines in Cripple Creek and Victor. Woodland Park was named for the beautiful wooded hills and valleys on all sides of the town.
