Timnath

Timnath is a small, rapidly growing town located in northern Colorado, just east of Fort Collins and near the Cache la Poudre River. Founded in 1882, Timnath began as an agricultural community centered around farming and ranching, particularly known for sugar beet farming, which was a significant part of the region's economy in the early 20th century. The town’s name is believed to have biblical origins, referencing the ancient town of Timnath in Israel.

Although Timnath remained a small rural community for much of its early history, it began to experience significant growth in the 21st century due to its proximity to Fort Collins and the overall development of northern Colorado. Residential and commercial development has transformed the once-sleepy agricultural town into a suburban enclave.
