加菲尔德 County Profile
加菲尔德 County Incorporated on February 10, 1883, 加菲尔德 County, 科罗拉多州, is named after the 20th President of the United States, 詹姆斯一. 加菲尔德. Born in Ohio on November 19, 1831, 加菲尔德 is a very appropriate namesake for a county as diverse as this. Diverse in his background, interests and profession, some part of his life is likely to inspire everyone.
加菲尔德 County is one of the largest counties in 科罗拉多州, incorporating nearly 3,000 square miles on the western boundary of the state. The county has more than doubled in population since 1985 and is projected to double in size again by 2040. With this continual population increase and growth pressure comes many transitions within each of the six incorporated communities, as well as changes seen at a countywide level.
With a county that is rapidly changing, it is important to track its physical, social and economic factors, in order to give a general indication of where the county has been, as well as where it will likely go. Information of this nature can be helpful, not only for county and municipal governments, but also for those thinking of starting a business, relocating to the area, or for residents curious about the baseline information about where they live.
