Fort Collins is a municipality in northern Colorado, which serves as the seat of Larimer County. Situated on the Cache La Poudre River along the Colorado Front Range, Fort Collins is located 56 mi north of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. With a 2018 estimated population of 167,830, it is the fourth most populous city in Colorado after Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora. Fort Collins is a midsize college city, home to Colorado State University and Front Range Community College's Larimer campus. Fort Collins was founded as a military outpost of the United States Army in 1864, it succeeded a previous encampment, known as Camp Collins, on the Cache La Poudre River, near what is known today as Laporte. Camp Collins was erected during the Indian wars of the mid-1860s to protect the Overland mail route, relocated through the region. Travelers crossing the county on the Overland Trail would camp there, but a flood destroyed the camp in June 1864. Afterward, the commander of the fort wrote to the commandant of Fort Laramie in southeast Wyoming, Colonel William O. Collins, suggesting that a site several miles farther down the river would make a good location for the fort.

The post was manned by two companies of the 11th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry and never had walls. Settlers began arriving in the vicinity of the fort nearly immediately; the fort was decommissioned in 1867. The original fort site is now adjacent to the present historic "Old Town" portion of the city; the first school and church opened in 1866, the town was platted in 1867. The civilian population of Fort Collins, led by local businessman Joseph Mason, led an effort to relocate the county seat to Fort Collins from LaPorte, they were successful in 1868; the city's first population boom came with the establishment of an agricultural colony. Hundreds of settlers arrived. Tension between new settlers and earlier inhabitants led to political divisions in the new town, incorporated in 1873. Although the Colorado Agricultural College was founded in 1870, the first classes were held in 1879; the 1880s saw the construction of a number of elegant homes and commercial buildings and the growth of a distinctive identity for Fort Collins.

Stone quarrying, sugar-beet farming, the slaughter of sheep were among the area's earliest industries. Beet tops, an industry supported by the college and its associated agricultural experiment station, proved to be an excellent and abundant food for local sheep, by the early 1900s the area was being referred to as the "Lamb feeding capital of the world". In 1901 the Great Western sugar processing plant was built in the neighboring city of Loveland. Although the city was affected by the Great Depression and simultaneous drought, it experienced slow and steady growth throughout the early part of the twentieth century. During the decade following World War II, the population doubled and an era of economic prosperity occurred. Old buildings were razed to make way for modern structures. Along with revitalization came many changes, including the closing of the Great Western sugar factory in 1955, a new city charter, adopting a council-manager form of government in 1954. Colorado State University's enrollment doubled during the 1960s, making it the city's primary economic force by the end of the century.

Fort Collins gained a reputation as a conservative city in the twentieth century, with a prohibition of alcoholic beverages, a contentious political issue in the town's early decades, being retained from the late 1890s until student activism helped bring it to an end in 1969. During that same period, civil rights activism and anti-war disturbances heightened tensions in the city, including the burning of several buildings on the CSU campus. During the late 20th century, Fort Collins expanded to the south, adding new development, including several regional malls. Management of city growth patterns became a political priority during the 1980s, as well as the revitalization of Fort Collins' Old Town with the creation of a Downtown Development Authority. In late July 1997, the city experienced a flash flood after and during a 31-hour period when 10–14 in of rain fell; the rainfall was the heaviest on record for an urban area of Colorado. Five people were killed and $5 million in damages were dealt to the city.

The waters flooded Colorado State University's library and brought about $140 million in damages to the institution. Fort Collins is situated at the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills of the northern Front Range 60 miles north of Denver, 45 miles south of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Elevation is 4,982 ft above sea level. Geographic landmarks include Horsetooth Reservoir and Horsetooth Mountain—so named because of a tooth-shaped granite rock that dominates the city's western skyline. Longs Peak can clearly be seen on a clear day to the southwest of the city. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 47.1 square miles, of which 46.5 square miles is land and 0.6 square miles, or 1.27%, is water.
