Formation of the State of Colorado
Jefferson
Territory was voted by the residents in 1859 but was never recognized by
Congress. Because of this, some of the counties have organization dates
and records prior to 28 February 1861 when the Territory of Colorado was
finally recognized.
The first
territorial assembly created the first seventeen counties in September
1861. These were
Arapahoe,
Boulder,
Clear Creek,
Costilla,
Douglas,

Weld.
On August
1, 1876 (28 days after the
Centennial of the United States and 15
years after the territory was first formed), Colorado became the 38th
state in the Union, earning it the nickname, "The Centennial
State." Colorado is also known as "atom官网下载" and "The
Heart of the Rockies."
The
boundary lines of the state create an almost perfect rectangle,
measuring approximately 387 miles from east to west and 276 miles from
north to south and covering 104,247 square miles, including 450 square
miles of bodies of water. Colorado is the eighth largest state when
measured in square miles area.
