About Fort Collins, Colorado

The history of our town is pretty unique. Fur traders settled near the banks of the Cach La Poudre River. They wanted to hide their gunpowder, so they buried it by the river. The name Cach La Poudre basically means "a store of gunpowder." We have an army base and a lot of historical buildings in town. We also have some nice boutique shops and restaurants. It's just a cool little spot with a casual atmosphere.
