About Colorado …
First visited by Spanish explorers in the 1500s, the
territory was claimed for Spain by Juan de Ulibarri in
1706. The U.S. obtained eastern Colorado as part of the
Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the central portion in 1845
with the admission of Texas as a state, and the western
part in 1848 as a result of the Mexican War.
Colorado has the highest mean elevation of any state,
with more than 1,000 Rocky Mountain peaks over 10,000 ft
high and 54 towering above 14,000 ft. Pikes Peak, the
most famous of these mountains, was discovered by U.S.
Army lieutenant Zebulon M. Pike in 1806.
Once primarily a mining and agricultural state,
Colorado's economy is now driven by the service
industries, including medical providers and other
business and professional services. Colorado's economy
also has a strong manufacturing base. The primary
manufactures are food products, printing and publishing,
machinery, and electrical instruments. The state is also
a communications and transportation hub for the Rocky
Mountain region.
The farm industry, which is primarily concentrated in
livestock, is also an important element of the state's
economy. The primary crops in Colorado are corn, hay,
and wheat.
Breathtaking scenery and world-class skiing make
Colorado a prime tourist destination. The main tourist
attractions in the state include Rocky Mountain National
Park, Curecanti National Recreation Area, Mesa Verde
National Park, the Great Sand Dunes and Dinosaur
National Monuments, Colorado National Monument, and the
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument. |
