From plains to farms, ranches and rural
communities...
Morgan County was
formed in 1889 from part of Weld County. The county was named after old Fort
Morgan, which in turn was named in honor of Colonel Christopher A. Morgan. This is primarily a rural entity located on
the high plains of northeastern Colorado, with Weld and Logan Counties to the
north, Washington County to the east, Adams County to the south and Weld County
to the west.
Measuring 36 miles long and 36 miles wide,
the county encompasses 1,296 square miles. Morgan County
is 36th among Colorado counties measured in square-miles, but is abundantly rich
agriculturally with many irrigated and dry land farms as well as beef, sheep and
dairy ranches. Fort Morgan is the county seat.
