Broomfield - The City and County of Broomfield is an exceptionally prized home to her residents who take pride in the hometown values and atmosphere they have worked to create. Born in the latter quarter of the Nineteenth Century, Broomfield began as an agrarian community, with hard-working, community-oriented families who located here on the heels of those adventurous gold-seekers seeking their fortunes and hoping to strike gold in Colorado’s wilderness. Pike’s Peak to the south, Mount Evans to the west, Long’s Peak to the northwest and the vast plains on the east bound the area which has become known as Broomfield. Broomfield’s estimated population is 42,169 (2003). The city and county spans nearly 33.6 square miles. Broomfield is a premier employment center with Flatiron Crossing Mall, Level 3 Communications and Sun Microsystems located in the city’s Interlocken business area.
