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.
