Cities in Colorado

Colorado, the “Centennial State” houses 4.9 million residents. The capital is Denver and is also the state’s most populous city. Located in the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S.A., it also located in the western and south-western region of the country. Residents are known as “Coloradans” or the archaic term “Coloradoan” is still in use.

Colorado is bordered by Wyoming to the north, New Mexico and Oklahoma at the south, Arizona in the south-west, Nebraska and Kansas to the east and Utah to the west. The state is famous for its magnificent mountains, rivers and plains.

Native Indians inhabited what is today called the State of Colorado for more than 13 millennia. With the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 the United States acquired territory to the eastern flank of the Rocky Mountains. There were disputes with the Spanish over their claim that a huge region surrounding the region of its colony Santa Fe de Nuevo Mejico was its sovereign trading zone.

As part of the U.S. purchase of Florida they relinquished its claim to all the land south and west of the Arkansas River. While Mexico won independence from Spain in 1821 they also surrendered its northern territories to the United States in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

In 1849 the Mormons of Deseret (present day Utah) organized the State of Deseret, which claimed all land drained by the Green and Colorado Rivers. The federal government wouldn’t recognize the new government and the Mormons declined to settle east of the Green River for over 2 decades. The area that was the future Colorado was divided between the Territories of New Mexico, Utah, Kansas and Nebraska.

When the Provisional Government of the Territory of Jefferson was organized on August 24, 1859 the new territory failed to secure federal sanction. When Lincoln was elected President in 1860, there was a secession of six slave states and civil war threatened to erupt. U.S. Congress hurriedly admitted the eastern portion of the Territory of Kansas to the Union as the Free State of Kansas in 1861. This was to enlarge the political power of the Free states however this left the western part of the territory unorganized along with its gold fields. The outgoing President James Buchanan signed an act of Congress organizing the free Territory of Colorado; these original borders remain the same today. In 1876 Colorado was the 38th state admitted to the Union, 28 days after the Centennial of the United States.

The state’s economy broadened from the roots in mining when irrigated agriculture arrived in the late 19th century. Cattle, wheat, dairy products, corn and hay are major agricultural products of the state. Another major economic sector is the federal government with many important federal facilities in Denver, alongside the Supermax Prison and other federal prisons near Canon City.

Colorado has focused on making a diverse economy and has concentrated on scientific research and high-technology industries. Food processing, transportation equipment, machinery, chemical products, minerals such as gold and molybdenum, and tourism are other main industries of the state. The largest amount of beer in the country is produced in the State.
