Originally called the Chicago-Colorado Colony, the men sold memberships in the town,
purchasing the land necessary for the town hall with the proceeds.
As the first planned community in Boulder County, the city streets were laid out in a grid plan within a square mile.
The city began to flourish as an agricultural community after the building of the
Colorado Central Railroad line arrived northward from Boulder in 1877. Pumpkin Pie Days got its start in Longmont in 1899. Back then, the pumpkin was considered
one of Longmont’s most out of the ordinary crops. According to the historical society’s website,
canned pumpkin was donated by Empson Cannery and Longmont women would whip up 5,000 pies for the festival.
The event, which ran until 1914, got so popular that the rail car would add extra cars to ferry pumpkin-pie enthusiasts to Longmont.The downtown along Main Street, once nearly dead during the 1980s, has seen a vibrant revival in the 1990s and into the 21st century.
During the mid-1990s, the southern edge of Longmont became the location of the first New Urbanist project in Colorado,
called Prospect New Town, designed by the architects Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk.Longmont was the site of Colorado's first library though it lasted up to a year before its collection of 300 books was lost..
