Biographical / Historical
Boulder is the eleventh most populous city in the state of Colorado. It is the seat of Boulder County and the home to the University of Colorado Boulder, founded in 1877. The City and County of Boulder are located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountain Range and feature the Flatirons rock formation. Historically the home of Native American tribes, including the Southern Arapaho, Utes, Cheyennes, Comanches, and Sioux, Boulder was first settled by non-native peoples in 1858 during the Colorado Gold Rush. Officially part of the Nebraska Territory, Boulder became part of the Colorado Territory in 1861 upon that territory’s creation by the United States Congress. The city of Boulder was first incorporated in 1871.
