Morgan County Summary
Introduction
Morgan County is located in the northeastern corner of Colorado, and is part of the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is bordered by Weld County to the north, Logan County to the east, Washington County to the south, and Adams County to the west. The county seat is Fort Morgan, and the largest city is Brush. The county was named after Colonel Christopher A. Morgan, a Civil War veteran and the first Colorado Secretary of State.
History
The area that is now Morgan County was originally inhabited by the Arapaho and Cheyenne Native American tribes. The first white settlers arrived in the area in the 1860s, and the county was officially established in 1889. The county was originally part of Weld County, but was split off in 1889 due to its large population.
The county was largely agricultural in its early years, with the main crops being wheat, corn, and sugar beets. The sugar beet industry was particularly important to the county, and the Great Western Sugar Company built a large factory in Fort Morgan in 1901. The factory was the largest of its kind in the world at the time, and it helped to spur the growth of the county.
In the early 20th century, the county also saw an influx of immigrants from Europe, particularly from Germany and Russia. These immigrants helped to shape the culture of the county, and many of their descendants still live in the area today.
Geography
Morgan County covers an area of 1,521 square miles, making it the fifth-largest county in Colorado. The county is located in the northeastern corner of the state, and is bordered by Weld County to the north, Logan County to the east, Washington County to the south, and Adams County to the west.
The county is mostly flat, with some rolling hills in the western part of the county. The South Platte River runs through the county, and there are several reservoirs and lakes in the area, including Jackson Lake, Jackson Reservoir, and Lake John.
The county is mostly rural, with the majority of the population living in small towns and unincorporated communities. The largest city in the county is Brush, with a population of 5,400. The county seat is Fort Morgan, with a population of 11,000.
Economy
