This community is up for adoption.


Incorporated in 1890, Fort Lupton was initially built as a fur trading post. It is a stable community situated in the fertile Platte River Valley in southern Weld County. The community's location on 4-lane U.S. Highway 85 gives ready access to all types of transportation, and Denver International Airport is just 15 miles away. Aims Community College maintains a southern campus here.

Agriculture remains the basic industry of the region, but oil and gas have become important industries in recent years. Extensive dry land farming opportunities are only a few miles east and west, while the valley is mostly irrigated. In the last few years. small industries have located here, many being oil related. A thermal industrial park to the north of the city is the site of a co- generation facility which promises to attract many food-processing industries.

Major employers in Fort Lupton include: Golden Aluminum Colorado Greenhouse, Color Star Growers, Amoco Corporation, and School District RE-8.
