InfoRoyal Calkins was born March 18, 1870, in Wyoming, Iowa. After attending high school in Nebraska, he enrolled at the State University of Iowa, where he received a M.D. degree in 1893. He also attended the Chicago Homeopathic Medical College and graduated in 1902. During World War I, Calkins served as a medical examiner.

Calkins moved to Cortez, Colorado, in 1908, where he lived for more than 50 years, and held both local and state public offices. He was a member of the Cortez school board, town board, and mayor. Calkins served as a state representative for 12 years (1921-1930, 1933-1934), and during his fifth term, he was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives.

As a resident of Cortez, Calkins donated his services as a team doctor to the Cortez High School athletic teams. In appreciation for his services, a school was built and named after him. The Calkins building now houses school administrative offices. Calkins died in Durango on December 9, 1961.
