History of Boulder:
In the 1860's, Boulder served as a supply
base for miners seeking fortunes in gold and silver in the
nearby mountains. Originally part of the Nebraska territory,
Boulder became part of the Colorado Territory when it was
established by Congress in 1861. It incorporated as a town
10 years later and became the seat of the county. The University
of Colorado was opened with 45 students and one building
on September 5th, 1877.
Today, Boulder encompasses about 22.5
miles at the foot of the Flatirons. Boulder is known as
a leading city for growth control, as urban sprawl becomes
a threatening issue statewide. For two decades, Boulder
has limited the amount of housing that can be built within
its city limits.
