Located in northwest Colorado, the City of Steamboat Springs was incorporated in 1900 and lies against the western ridge of the Continental Divide of the Rocky Mountains. With a history rooted in the American west, this genuine and authentic community embraces a year-round mountain lifestyle; a western heritage that still holds strong generations later; an Olympian tradition spanning nearly a century; abundant outdoor recreation centered around the Yampa River, namesake mineral springs and miles of trails and open space; and, a passion for taking care of its neighbors through a diversity of community organizations.
