Fort Morgan Colorado

by Tom Reed 08/11/2020

Fort Morgan

Traditionally an agricultural economy, today Fort Morgan is more diversified with manufacturing and international exporting. Fort Morgan's employment in the manufacturing sector is 22%, far exceeding the state and national averages.

Named in honor of Colonel Christopher A. Morgan of the United States Volunteers, the former military post was first known as Camp Tyler, but in 1865 renamed to Fort Wardwell. In 1866, substantial buildings were erected and the name changed again to its present one, Fort Morgan. The City of Fort Morgan was incorporated in 1887.

Fort Morgan is located 80 miles northeast of Denver on U.S. Interstate 76 and U.S. Highway 34, less than an hour's drive to Denver International Airport.
