History
The municipality
of Broomfield was incorporated in 1961 in the southeastern
corner of Boulder County. It received its name from
the broomcorngrown
in the area. Over the next three decades, the city grew through annexations,
many of which crossed the county line into three adjacent counties: Adams, Jefferson and Weld. In the 1990s, city leaders began to push
for the creation of a separate county to avoid the inefficiencies of dealing
with four separate court districts, four different county seats, and four
separate county sales tax bases. It also had longstanding political differences
with Boulder County, which impelled it to separate. Broomfield reasoned that
it could provide services more responsively under its own county government,
and sought an amendment to the Colorado State Constitution to create a new
county. The amendment was passed in 1998, after which a three-year transition
period followed. On November 15, 2001, Broomfield
County became the 64th, newest and
smallest county
of Colorado.
