It was created as a US Army frontier outpost for protection from Indians by the pioneers using the Overland Trail. It has a strong agricultural heritage and was an early center of Sugar beet production and is partly responsible for the popularity of Colorado lamb which used beet pulp and tops to fatten up the flock before slaughter.

It became the home of the Colorado Agricultural College now named Colorado State University with about 23,000 students.
