Longmont

"Longmont is a vibrant northern Colorado city of over 57,000 people, which has retained much of its small town quality of life. From its origin in 1871 as a planned agricultural settlement, the community steadily grew and became a regional, agricultural and commercial center in northeast Boulder County. A new level of rapid expansion surfaced in the 1960's and is continuing at a more stable pace today, spurred substantially by the Boulder-Longmont area's high tech manufacturing and advanced service industries." -- Vital Statistics, City of Longmont, Planning Division, June 1996
