Book an RV in Weld County and you are ready to retrace the steps of this county's early explorers. There are a number of nearby cities of equal interest that should be visited. Loveland was very nearly named Barnesville after a local landowner who donated land to facilitate a new railroad, but the owner insisted that the town be named after his friend, Colorado Central Railroad president William A. H. Loveland, instead. Fort Collins was originally Camp Collins, which was abandoned due to flooding and resettled later as a non-fort community. Greeley was named after Horace Greeley, an American author and editor/publisher of the New York Tribune, who visited the city once in 1870 and never came back. Denver's nickname is “The Mile High City”, due to its elevation being exactly one statute mile (or 5,280 feet) from sea level to the fifteenth step of the State Capitol Building's west side. Boulder was originally a city located in Nebraska until the state of Colorado was created in 1861, followed by Boulder's becoming a county seat in Colorado in 1867. A Dacono CO RV rental is all you need to explore this area steeped in history and culture.
