Broomfield
Foundation/History:
Born in the latter quarter of the Nineteenth Century, Broomfield began as an agrarian community, with hard-working, community-oriented families who located here on the heels of those adventurous gold-seekers seeking their fortunes and hoping to strike gold in Colorado’s wilderness.
On November 15, 2001, Broomfield became Colorado’s 64th county. As a county, Broomfield can now provide a complete array of services to businesses and residents. Broomfield was Colorado’s first master-planned community when it became a city in 1961. The City and County’s current master plan was completed in 2005.
Demographics/Amenities:
Broomfield currently has approximately 48,000 residents, the beautiful, close-knit neighborhoods mark a true sense of community among the residents of Broomfield. There are currently 63 parks boasting amenities like therapeutic sensory playgrounds, tennis courts, baseball, softball, and soccer fields, park shelters for fun family gatherings, and more. There is never a time in when someone isn’t out enjoying the beauty of an open space area, a walk or a run on our trails, a visit to a park, an athletic event, or just a quiet moment under a tree in a park. Throughout the city, strategically placed public art offers places for people to sit and enjoy Broomfield’s dramatic natural environment on whimsical art benches, or contemplate the drama of the 9/11 Memorial. Outdoor concerts and cultural activities abound in the summer, and special events bring the whole community together to celebrate just being in Broomfield. Broomfield looks forward to expanding retail operations, multiple social and cultural activities and a solid economic base in the high-tech industry locating in new and beautiful business parks.
