Larimer County, Administrative county in Northern Colorado, US
Larimer County extends across 2,634 square miles in Colorado, featuring Fort Collins as its capital and including sections of the Rocky Mountain National Park.
The county, established in 1861 and named after William Larimer Jr, developed through agriculture rather than mining, which distinguished it from other Colorado regions.
The Larimer County Fair and Rodeo brings together local communities through exhibitions, competitions, and entertainment events that celebrate regional traditions.
Residents access county services through an online portal that manages property records, vehicle registrations, and permits for various activities within the jurisdiction.
The Cache la Poudre River running through the county received its name from French trappers who stored gunpowder along its banks in 1828.
