About LongmontBefore Longmont was established at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, the area was the haunt of gold seekers, fur traders and adventurers. However, in the mid-19th century, Longmont—in the fertile St. Vrain River Valley—attracted a more stable type of pioneer. The farming community established in 1871 as the Chicago-Colorado Colony was named for Colorado explorer Maj. Steven H. Long, who explored the valley in 1820.
The Golden Rule Store was a Longmont retailer credited with launching JCPenney into the dry goods business; the name was changed accordingly in 1912. Today, the town is an important agricultural center, with sugar beets a chief crop. An appreciation of the arts has resulted in a growing collection of public art pieces placed around town. Outdoor recreational opportunities are plentiful and include hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, hot air balloon rides and skiing.
