Broomfield: Spirit of the American Dream

At the dawn of the twentieth century settlers and ranchers in the Broomfield area were drawn to the hilly land away from the growing cities for its clean air, expansive vistas and country charm. These sane qualities inspired suburban pioneers in the 1950's to create a unique development on this land, featuring streets curved to the rolling contours of Broomfield Heights. Broomfield's story reveals how Colorado's first Master Planned Community - the city by the turnpike - embodied the new spirit of the American dream.
