Morgan County, County administration center in Fort Morgan, Colorado.
Morgan County is an administrative region in northeastern Colorado with farmland, ranches, and the South Platte River running through it. The county government building in Fort Morgan serves as the administrative center for residents.
Established in 1889 from part of Weld County, the region was named after Colonel Christopher A. Morgan. This creation marked an important milestone in the settlement and organization of northern Colorado.
Agriculture shapes daily life here, with cattle ranches, sheep operations, and dairy farms visible across the landscape. These farms define the community's character and remain central to how people live and work.
Interstate 76 and U.S. Highways 6 and 34 connect the region to Denver and surrounding areas. Jackson Lake State Park provides outdoor recreation options and is accessible from multiple points within the county.
The region has an unusual geometric shape that sets it apart from other counties in the state. This distinctive feature often surprises those learning about the area for the first time.
