Longmont, CO, elevation 4,979 feet, population 76098, is a vibrant community in the northeastern corner of Boulder County, 37 miles north of Denver, 10 miles northeast of Boulder, overlooking the valley of the St. Vrain River.

As the second largest city behind Boulder in Boulder County, Longmont from its origin in 1871 as a planned agricultural settlement steadily expanded into a regional, agricultural and commercial center. The city grew 38 percent in the 1990's, from 51,555 people in 1990 to 71,093 in 2000 inspired substantially by the Boulder-Longmont area's high tech manufacturing and advanced service industries. Today Longmont which retained much of its small town quality of life continues to grow at a more stable pace.

Because of its close proximity to employment, higher education, the Metro Denver area, the beauty of the Rocky Mountains a few miles west of the foothills and an attractive Downtown area known for antique shopping, Longmont has become a very desirable place to live. Nearby is Roosevelt National Forest with its many recreation areas, while Rocky Mountain National Park and the spectacular Trail Ridge Road are only 30 miles to the northwest. Longmont is also known for its year round public events from fairs to rodeos including the annual Boulder County Fair each summer and Rhythm on the River as well as performances by “The Longmont Symphony Orchestra” and “The Longmont Theatre Company”.
