America 250 - Colorado 150 Commemoration

The America 250 - Colorado 150 Commission officially launches the campaign, “The View From Here,” inviting all Coloradans to reflect on our state’s colorful history and envision a bright future as we celebrate 250 years of American independence and 150 years of Colorado statehood. This landmark initiative will recognize Colorado’s legacy as the only state founded on the nation’s 100th birthday in 1876. This dual milestone marks a rare opportunity to highlight Colorado's place within the broader narrative of the United States. 

“This is a unique moment in history for our state. We are commemorating 150 years of our great state while our country celebrates 250 years as a nation,” said Governor Jared Polis. “Colorado is the incredible place we know and love because of every person who calls it home; I encourage everyone to get involved and share the experiences that have shaped their journey in our beautiful state.”
