Longmont Colorado Vistas |
Longmont Colorado was founded in 1870 as a hub for farming activities. Large irrigation ditches brought then and still bring water from the rivers to the rich farmland soil. The Great Western Sugar factory, which manufactured sugar from sugar beets until the 1970's, still hovers near Old Town today as a monument to the past.
Longmont United Hospital offers extraordinary care through 250 physicians and their specialties. Ease your weary back with a massage, acupuncture, or other medicinal therapies. Also, a professional music therapist is available to soothe the mind and spirit.
Unlike Boulder and Louisville, this community has room to grow! Clean industry is now the city's slogan. The Longmont's median priced home is an affordable $246,800 (2003) as compared to Boulder's median priced home at $433,879 (2003). Residents and outdoor enthusiasts enjoy 2,500 acres of open space. The town is known for its year round public events, from fairs to rodeos; and is a great place for antique shopping. People move to the community, with its close proximity to Interstate 25 (Denver and Ft. Collins), to escape from the hustle and bustle of large cities. The Vance Brand Municipal Airport serves the local community with a concrete paved 4800 foot runway.
The city has many fine restaurants and is also home to high-tech manufacturing and advanced service industries, such as Xilinx, who builds "smarter and faster chips". In fact, the area has the highest concentration of software related jobs in the nation, steadily becoming a regional, agricultural and commercial center in northeast Boulder County. In 1962 the U.S. Government built an air traffic control center in the city and in 1965 IBM built a large facility seven miles to the southwest. Majestic views to the west of Mt. Meeker and Longs Peak are available over 300 sunshine days a year. The town is only 8.2 miles from Boulder.
