Larimer County, Colorado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Larimer County was created in 1861 as one of seventeen original counties in the Colorado Territory; however, its western boundary was disputed. |
 | | Unlike that of much of Colorado, which was founded on the mining of gold and silver, the settlement of Larimer County was based almost entirely on agriculture, an industry that few thought possible in the region during the initial days of the Colorado Gold Rush. |
 | | In the county the population is spread out with 23.80% under the age of 18, 14.20% from 18 to 24, 30.70% from 25 to 44, 21.80% from 45 to 64, and 9.60% who are 65 years of age or older. |
