Fort Collins is located 60 miles North of Denver
along the I-25 corridor. The Ft Collins 2000 census stated a population of 118,848. The
estimate in 2002 by the city was 126,848 so now conservative estimates are
approximately 130,000. Ft Collins is the center of Larimer County. Larimer
County had a population of 251,000 in 2000. Conservative estimates are now
over 300,000. These figures change on a weekly basis as Fort Collins and the entire Northern
Colorado area is one of the fastest growing areas in America. Fort
Collins' growth area has long been a bone of contention between growth
advocates and no growth advocates.
Therefore the areas just outside Fort Collins like
Timnath, Wellington, Windsor and the rural areas as far east as Eaton
Colorado have also experienced large growth and population spurts.
