Colorado Information:
Colorado is located in the western United States and is closely associated with the
Rocky Mountains, which run through the state. After the discovery of gold in California,
prospectors began searching for gold in other areas, including Colorado. When it
was finally discovered in present day Englewood, a gold rush created an influx of
50,000 people in 1858-
Today, Colorado has moved away from its mining roots and currently boasts a diversified economy. Manufacturing, finance, and tourism now make up the core of Colorado’s economy. While manufacturing in Colorado is still based on the processing of local raw materials, technology dependent light manufacturing is also prevalent. Notably, the brewing of beer is one of the leading employers of Colorado.

to be the state’s most visible and important tourist activity, generating $10 billion
annually. Old mining towns such as Aspen, Telluride, and Breckenridge have transformed
