Fort Collins

In Colorado, few cities are as historically bound to a 19th-century U.S. Army post as Fort Collins. The community developed beside Camp Collins, established in 1864 along the Cache la Poudre River, and its name still recalls that frontier beginning. Set on the Front Range where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountain foothills, the city is also shaped by the Poudre river corridor, designated a National Heritage Area. Old Town preserves late-19th- and early-20th-century commercial architecture, while Colorado State University began in 1870 as the Colorado Agricultural College.
