History

The municipality of Broomfield was incorporated in 1961 in the southeastern corner of Boulder County. Boulder County is the sixth most populous of the 64 counties of the State of Colorado of the United States. It received its name from the broomcorn grown in the area. Proso millet ( Panicum miliaceum) is also known as common millet, broom corn, hog millet or white millet. Over the next three decades, the city grew through annexations, many of which crossed the county line into four adjacent counties: Adams, Boulder, Jefferson and Weld. Annexation ( Latin ad, to and nexus, joining is the legal incorporation of some territory into another geo-political entity (either adjacent or non-contiguous Adams County is the fifth most populous of the 64 counties of the State of Colorado of the United States.

Weld County is the third most extensive and the ninth most populous of the 64 counties of the State of Colorado of the United States. 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 (each a considerable distance away), 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 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. Events 655 - Battle of Winwaed: Penda of Mercia is defeated by Oswiu of Northumbria. Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar.
