Boulder County Agricultural Society ~ Colorado ~ 1870
Like the parent society, at Denver, this institution has for its
object the promotion of all Territorial industries, and has done
its part towards increasing the general wealth of the Territory,
by encouraging and fostering all agricultural, mining and
manufacturing enterprises.
Although a youthful organization, it has the the growth and
strength of manhood, and is under the management of gentlemen
largely interested in the welfare of the county, and anxious and
able to advance her interests in every way.
The grounds are finely located near Boulder City, and the
buildings substantially constructed, and well suited to the
purpose.
The exhibitions are held yearly, and are largely attended and
well conducted. The usefulness of similar associations is well
known in all countries, and the Boulder County Agricultural
Society is not behind any other of its years, with equal
facilities, and is a credit to the county and Territory. We
regret our paucity of statistics concerning this institution, as
we are not able to give its present officers and directors, but
know of its general good reputation and prosperity, and feel
assured that its growth will be commensurate with that of the
county and Territory.
