Valmont, Boulder County Colorado Gazetteer Surnames A ~ Z

A thriving village, located at the junction of North and South Boulder creeks, in Boulder County. Like Burlington, its neighbor town, Valmont is supported and built up chiefly by its agricultural surroundings, and has growth and prosperity in ratio with the development of the farming industries of the region. The location of this village is most favorable in many respects. The valleys of the Boulders, in which it is situated, are noted for the richness of their soil, and the streams for the numerous water powers they afford. Coal is also abundant in the neighborhood, and, without question, Valmont will eventually add manufacturing enterprises to her permanent industries. Like all Colorado towns, it has delightful surroundings, and most healthful climate and good orderly citizens.
