Colorado

The State of Colorado encompasses most of the Southern Rocky Mountains as well as the northeastern portion of the Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains. The capital and largest city is Denver followed by the city of Colorado Springs. Colorado is one of the Four Corners states. It is bordered by Wyoming and Nebraska to the north, on the east by Nebraska and Kansas, on the south by Oklahoma and New Mexico, and on the west by Utah.

Gold was discovered by the South Platte River in 1858, and more was discovered throughout the mountains. Gold mining was a mainstay for the next 40 years. Colorado suffered greatly through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, but a major wave of immigration following World War II boosted Colorado's economy.
