About Loveland, Colorado

Loveland is a city of 76,378 people in Larimer County, where the Big Thompson River comes out of the Front Range foothills. French fur trappers worked this country in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and in 1858 Mariano Medina built the area's first settlement, Fort Namaqua, which served as a trading post and stage station. Its site is now Namaqua Park.

The Colorado Central Railroad built a new line through the valley, and in 1877 Loveland was founded beside the tracks near the place where they crossed the river. The town took the name of the railroad's president, William A. H. Loveland. A small settlement called St. Louis already stood a mile away, and its buildings were moved to the new townsite. A post office named Big Thompson opened on January 10, 1878, and Loveland became an incorporated town on April 30, 1881.

“A Valentine Greeting from Sweetheart Town, Loveland, Colorado”
Wikipedia
  • A sugar factory in 1901For the first half of the 20th century, Loveland lived on farming, and its main crops were sugar beets and sour cherries. The Great Western Sugar Company built a factory here in 1901, and it kept local people employed until it shut down in 1977. Later in the century, Hewlett-Packard, Teledyne and Hach brought manufacturing jobs to town.
  • Cherries worth $1 million a yearBy the late 1920s, Spring Glade Orchard ranked as the largest cherry orchard west of the Mississippi, and Loveland's orchards brought in more than $1 million in cherries each year. Droughts, blight, competition from Michigan and other states, and at last a hard freeze ended the trade. By the late 1960s cherries were no longer grown here at scale.
  • Sweetheart Town since 1947In January 1947 postmaster Elmer Ivers got about 30 valentines from people asking for a Loveland postmark. He and Ted Thompson saw a way to advertise the town, and the Chamber of Commerce backed the idea. Thompson drew a cachet of an arrow-pierced heart above the Rocky Mountains. Every year since has brought a new verse and design, and the program now re-mails more than 160,000 cards from across the U.S. and more than 110 countries.
  • 475 works of public artSo many artists made their homes in Loveland that the city gained three foundries, an art museum and yearly sculpture shows each August, including Sculpture in the Park, put on by the Loveland High Plains Arts Council. The public art collection holds 475 pieces, most of them sculpture, and more than 150 stand in Benson Sculpture Garden.
