Welcome to Johnstown

Johnstown, Colorado, is a small and growing town located in northern Colorado, about 40 miles north of Denver and 10 miles southeast of Loveland. It sits at the intersection of Weld and Larimer counties, close to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. While its modern growth is largely tied to its position along Colorado’s economic corridor, Johnstown has a rich historical background dating back to the late 19th century.

Historical Overview:
Johnstown was founded in 1902 by Harvey J. Parish, who named the town after his son, John Parish. The establishment of the town coincided with the extension of the Great Western Railway, which connected sugar beet farmers to sugar mills in nearby cities like Loveland and Longmont. Agriculture, (especially sugar beets, wheat, corn, and livestock) was the economic backbone of the community for much of the 20th century.

During its early years, Johnstown was a small agricultural hub where farmers brought their goods for transport via rail. The Great Depression and World War II brought challenges, but the town continued to serve as a center for farming and ranching. As time passed, Johnstown’s economy diversified, and it began transitioning from a predominantly agricultural community into a residential area for people working in larger nearby cities like Denver, Fort Collins, and Greeley.
