Broomfield County, Administrative county in Denver metropolitan area, Colorado
Broomfield County is an administrative division in Colorado situated between Denver and Boulder. The area spans roughly 34 square miles and sits at an elevation of about 5,300 feet along a major transportation corridor.
The region was named after broom corn crops that once covered the land before becoming Colorado's 64th county in 2001. This consolidation brought together areas that had previously been divided among four neighboring counties.

This area sits along a major route connecting two larger cities and provides good road access throughout. Visitors can find parks, public services, and recreational facilities scattered across the region.
Broomfield functions as both a city and county, making it one of two consolidated city-county governments in Colorado alongside Denver.
