Our Culture#
Innovative City At The Gateway To The Rockies#
Fort Collins is nationally recognized by various organizations and magazines as a best place to live.
Sixty miles from Denver, Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University, several large high-tech employers, and leading businesses in the microbrew industry. We are a major employment and retail center in Northern Colorado renowned for our outdoor activities, cultural amenities, and our bike-friendly, small-town feel.
Fort Collins residents are well educated, passionate and engaged in the community. Our high quality of life is a result of the community’s focus on the environment, enthusiasm for health and the outdoors, a strong educational system, extensive park and open space systems, and a flourishing Downtown district.

In Fort Collins, we strive to be responsible stewards of our natural, financial and human resources.
