Fort Collins

City and administrative headquarters of Larimer County, north-central Colorado, on the Cache de la Poudre River, 90 km/56 mi north of Denver, at an altitude of 1,555 m/5,102 ft; population (2000) 118,700. It is the processing and marketing centre for the surrounding agricultural area; industries include computer hardware and software, engines, cement, plastics, film, and prefabricated metal buildings. Tourism is also important to the local economy. It is the home of Colorado State University (1870).

The city was established as a fort in 1864 for the protection of travellers on the Overland Trail, and was incorporated as a city in 1873.
