Loveland Colorado is known nation wide as the sweetheart city and is located 45 miles north of Denver on the I-25 corridor. In recent years Loveland has grown at a very rapid rate. the 2000 census had 50,600 living in Loveland Colorado. the population has been estimated at near 60, 000 now.

Loveland is also well known in just recent years as one of the centers for bronze sculpture art. Many people call it the    "Gateway to the Rockies". because just west of the city is the Big Thompson Canyon which certainly qualifies as an entrance to the Rockies. This narrow canyon was formed by the Big Thompson River which is one of Colorado's major water sheds.  A short drive up the canyon is the small village of  Estes Park Colorado and the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Loveland's roots are in agriculture. With the railroad it quickly established itself as a shipping point for the cattle ranchers and for the lumber companies which had sprung up to supply the ever growing town. In 1901 the Great Western Sugar company established it's first sugar plant. This companies sugar mills can still be seen in most of the small towns of this area. In Loveland it is just south of highway 34 on the eastern edge of the old downtown area. However, Great Western has few left in actual production.

Back in 1954 when I first came through Loveland heading for Ft. Collins to visit a high school friend. Loveland was a sleepy little town by most standards but the people I knew from Loveland then seemed to be a happy bunch. About 5,000 people were residents of Loveland then. I met my wife just up the road when I went to Colorado State University which had just bee renamed from Colorado A&M. She was born and raised in Loveland and her family had  retail interest there

The shopping district in the 50's was about three to four blocks long and two blocks wide. It did straddle US 287 so every one using this highway, which at the time was the only good one available, drove through the middle of town. Know Loveland Colorado has become a regional shopping and entertainment center for Northern Colorado and parts of Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas.
