History

History of Washington County

Colorado State Legislature made Washington County out of larger Weld County in 1887. In 1889, Washington County's eastern half formed Yuma County. In 1903, Arapahoe County ceded its eastern portion to Washington County to create its present form. Like many counties in Eastern Colorado, The Great Depression affected Washington County, bringing its population down significantly. Recently growth has been stagnant. Washington County's Eastern Colorado Roundup is home to Colorado's first home-owned carnival held on every July annually. There are activities such as rodeos, various rides, and animals to see.

Part of Colorado Voter Check

This is the Washington County page of Colorado Voter Check, a project of True the Vote, pointing Colorado voters at the official tools that already exist — and at Scan Check Protect to verify your registration.

Where anything here differs from what Washington County or the Colorado Secretary of State publishes, they are right and this page is not.
