The Garden Spot of Colorado

Berthoud moved. The first town sat on the Little Thompson river bottom, and in the winter of 1883-84 it relocated to its current spot after the Colorado Central Railroad came through the valley. It incorporated on August 28, 1888, named for railroad surveyor Edward L. Berthoud.

Farmers here grew wheat, alfalfa and sugar beets and shipped beets to the Great Western Sugar factories in Loveland and Longmont, which is how it earned the Garden Spot nickname.

Golf, reservoirs and a historic downtown

Berthoud has about 13,648 people (U.S. Census Bureau estimate, July 1, 2024). Heron Lakes is built around TPC Colorado, a championship golf course, and three reservoirs. Vantage and Hammond Farm are newer, and like Heron Lakes they have metro districts. Old Town keeps late 1800s and early 1900s homes near the Mountain Avenue businesses.

Loveland is about 10 miles north, Fort Collins about 12 and Longmont about 20 by US-287. The town spans Larimer and Weld counties.
