Boulder County is another one of the original Colorado counties that were created by the Territory of Colorado in 1861. Situated in a picturesque valley northwest of Denver CO homes, Boulder County includes many smaller and more rural communities along with its flagship City of Boulder--the county seat.

Seek out Lafayette, Longmont, Louisville for mid-sized communities. Allenspark, Caribou, Coal Creek, Eldora, Eldorado Springs, Erie, Gold Hill, Gunbarrel, Hygiene, Jamestown, Lyons, Nederland, Niwot, Superior, and Ward may give you a hint of the past just from their names.
Named for Boulder City and Boulder Creek and the abundance of large granite boulders layered into the terrain, Boulder County hasn't changed much in the last 150 years. It is the sixth most populous county in the state, with the population approaching 300,000 residents. The communities are recognized for the awesome location nestled in the Front Range foothills, and for open spaces and trails, water features, culture, historic downtowns, an artisan atmosphere, and top-notch institutions of higher learning.
Most people chose this valley for the immediate access to recreation in the Rocky Mountains. In fact, international tourists and visitors from the United States take vacation time in the area. Rocky Mountain National Park is located partially in the county which is home to Longs Peak, the park's highest summit at 14,255 feet in elevation. Then there is Eldorado Canyon State Park. One rare experience is always in store at the Colorado Chautauqua National Historic District.
Plunging into the depths of the Front Range, outdoor enthusiasts lose themselves in the branches, creeks, and rocks of the Arapaho National Forest, Roosevelt National Forest, Indian Peaks Wilderness, and James Peak Wilderness. Some go freelance; others take the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail or the Peak to Peak Scenic and Historic Byway. Some head to the ski resorts; others freelance through the woods on snowshoes.
The Boulder Metropolitan Statistical Area comprises this county. Though the county itself spans 751 square miles, the adjacent expanses of pristine wonderlands seemingly break down all boundaries.
