Region & Climate
Northeastern Colorado is known for warm summers and cold winters. Afternoon thunderstorms are common place during late summer months into fall. Winter months will offer plenty of snowfall for any winter activities such as hunting or snowmobiling. Spring and fall are beautiful time of the year for all activities such as hiking, fishing, hunting or camping.
History
When the settlers began the trek west through the plains of northeastern Colorado to chase gold they traveled along the South Platte river through Sedgewick and Logan Counties.
The first settlers in this area were the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Crow, Blackfoot, Sioux, Kiowa and Pawnee Indians. Not long after the French/Canadian trappers on their way to the Rockies. Then the gold rush in 1849 made the Overland Trail once called the super highway of the plains.
In 1881 Union Pacific Railroad announced an extension from Julesburg to LaSalle, and that was the catalyst for area to grow rapidly.
In 1884 Logan County was formed and Sterling became the County Seat so local citizens didn’t have to travel to Greeley for official county business.
