Where is Greeley, Colorado?
Greeley is located in northern Colorado, specifically in Weld County. The city sits on the High Plains east of the Rocky Mountains between two rivers: the Cache la Poudre River, which flows through north Greeley, and the South Platte River, which runs along the southern boundary of the city. The latitude and longitude coordinates are 40.423336, -104.711220.
How was Greeley founded initially?
Nathan Meeker founded the Union Temperance Colony in 1870, with more than a hundred settlers, with help from Horace Greeley and an editorial advertisement published in Greeley's New-York Tribune. The Union Colony initially permitted no saloons or liquor stores. The New-York Tribune's editorial advertisement promised "remarkable healthfulness," "decided fertility and facility of cultivation," along with plentiful natural resources and "beauty of landscape and scenery with exception from disagreeable neighbors." On April 6, 1886, the Union Colony changed its name and was officially incorporated as Greeley; Greeley remained dry until 1972. Horace Greeley never lived in the Colony.
Some online sources claim that Meeker founded the Union Colony in 1869 and that Greeley was officially incorporated on November 15, 1885.
