Fort Collins, CO Real Estate

The City of Fort Collins, a home rule municipality situated on the Cache la Poudre River, is the most populous city and the county seat of Larimer County, Colorado. It is a large college town (home to Colorado State University ) in the north central region of the state, along what is known as the Colorado Front Range. Fort Collins is the fifth most populous city in the State of Colorado and the 185th most populous city in the United States. The United States Census Bureau estimates that in 2005 the population of the City of Fort Collins was 128,026 ( 185th most populous U.S. city ), [1] the population of the Fort Collins-Loveland Metropolitan Statistical Area was 271,927 ( 163rd most populous MSA ), [2] and the population of the Front Range Urban Corridor was 4,013,055. [2]

Fort Collins was founded as a military outpost of the United States Army in 1864. There was a previous encampment, known as Camp Collins, on the Cache La Poudre River, near present-day Laporte. Camp Collins was erected during the Indian wars of the mid-1860s to protect the Overland mail route that had by this time detoured through the region. Travelers crossing the county on the Overland Trail would camp there, but a flood destroyed it in June 1864. Afterward, the commander of the fort wrote to the commandant of Fort Laramie in southeast Wyoming, Colonel William O. Collins, suggesting that a site several miles further down the Poudre would make a good location for the fort. The post was manned originally by two companies of the 11th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry and never had walls.
