Once an agricultural and mining area, Jefferson County, Colorado now is a thriving suburban, business, industrial and residential community. Just West of Denver, it's a place where the great plains meet the Rocky Mountains; with some of the most magnificent scenery in the country: 774 square miles of rolling grasslands, natural foothills, and rugged mountains with tumbling mountain streams, craggy rock formations, and lofty pines.
Jefferson County is filled with magnificent wonders only nature can provide and a past that is just as rich. Not ignoring its agricultural and mining roots, Jefferson County has worked to create a delicate balance between that past while supporting a thriving business community and providing for safe neighborhoods.
