Fort Collins: Old Town Square
Among the places of Colorado, Old Town Square in Fort Collins stands out for its pedestrian-focused brick streetscape and central public plaza. It lies at the heart of Old Town, a compact commercial district with late-19th- and early-20th-century brick buildings. Fort Collins developed from Camp Collins, a U.S. Army post established in 1864. The square’s fountain, seating and surrounding blocks bring together shops, restaurants and other local businesses. Designer Harper Goff, who grew up in Fort Collins, drew on the city’s streets while developing the look of Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A. North of downtown, the Cache la Poudre River runs through the city.

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.

Among the states of the United States, Colorado stands out for the high Rocky Mountain country running through its centre. Around this part of the state, forested slopes, open basins and granite outcrops form the interior landscape of the Rockies, where conditions can change rapidly with the season. The Continental Divide crosses Colorado, separating waters that flow toward the Pacific from those bound for the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The Arkansas River rises in the central Rockies and is one of the state’s major waterways. Admitted to the Union in 1876, Colorado is still known as the Centennial State.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
