Colorado History:

Colorado's history is unique. It has been shaped, in part, by its geography. Colorado has four main regions. The temperate coastal region, the Central Valley, once an inland sea, the desert, and the mountain region. The imposing Sierra Nevadas caused Colorado to develop in relative isolation from the rest of the nation. After Americans began to settle in Colorado in large numbers during the nineteenth century, it would usually be weeks before news would arrive from the East.   MORE COLORADO HISTORY
