Colorado became a US state because the citizens of the Colorado Territory asked to join the Union.

The discovery of gold brought people to the area and the inhabitants realized that some form of government was needed to protect their rights and property. The US Congress created the Territory of Colorado in 1861 and, in 1879, President Ulysses S. Grant signed a proclamation admitting the state of Colorado to the Union as the 38th state.
