Louisville, Colorado
Adams County/Boulder County
Louisville Museum on Main Street
Louisville was established as coal mining
town in the late 1800's. A land owner, Louis Nawatny, plated
his land and named it after himself. Coal miners moved to town and
were able to walk to their work in the new, safer mine. From the
beginning Louisville enjoyed a democratic society with no employer
domination as was normal in those times. At the peak of the
coal mining era, there were 12 mines in Louisville.
Today, Louisville blends the hometown
atmosphere with a progressive, modern look. Downtown is a old
fashioned, Main Street, while the surrounding area is built up with modern
new homes. Convenient to both Denver and Boulder, residents enjoy
all the amenities of a small town and big city.
Most of the area's industrial development is in Boulder County, which has
the highest concentration of manufacturing in Colorado. Twenty-seven
percent of the work force is employed by manufactures, compared with
thirteen percent state-wide.
High tech firms number more than 700 in
Boulder County. The result having an impact on housing prices going
upward. This area is one of the more expensive areas for housing in
the Denver Metroplex.
