Berthoud
Berthoud snow storm- 1920 - (www.photoswest.org)
Berthoud's history like most in this area is from agricultural roots. The towns nick name is the Garden Spot.
The city was originally settled along the Little Thompson River but flooding caused problems so in 1884 it was
moved to it's present location and growth started in earnest. In 1894 the Turner Hotel was built, large brick
homes were constructed in 1893 and the electric company came in 1902.
Berthoud is located in Larimer County.
Berthoud Colorado is located on old US Highway 287 which used to be the main north south route along the
front range from Denver which is 45 miles to the south. The small town now extends east to I-25 so it is one of
the growing cities along the I-25 corridor. In the 2000 census there were 4.839 people there. The population is
now nearing 6,500.
