Pardon my dust as I work to completely redesign and update my new site. It's going to take me a while. In the meantime, my original website can still be found at: www.hollyhockfarms.com/coweld. I will keep it there until I get everything moved over here. Be aware that I am no longer updating the old site. This includes fixing broken links. For the time being, it probably is best for you to check both sites for information until I can finish moving all the information over to this site. ~Pauli Smith, August 21, 2010.

Weld County is one of the original Colorado Counties. In 1872 the eastern part was split off to form the short-lived Platte County. When Platte County was dissolved in 1874, Weld County reverted to its 1861 borders. In 1887 the eastern part was split off to form Logan and Washington Counties. In 1889 the southeastern corner was split off to form Morgan County. In November 2001, a small portion of southwest Weld County was split off to help create Broomfield County.
