Welcome to the Newto News for January of 2026. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Nestled at the base of the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, Boulder, Colorado has a rich history dating back to the mid-1800s. Originally inhabited by the Southern Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes, the area was later settled by European American miners seeking fortune during the Gold Rush. However, it was not long before the discovery of silver in nearby Leadville brought a new wave of prosperity to Boulder. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Boulder transformed into a vibrant college town with the establishment of the University of Colorado in 1877. The city quickly became a hub for education, culture, and innovation, attracting artists, intellectuals, and scientists from around the country. Today, Boulder is known for its progressive attitudes, outdoor recreational opportunities, and thriving tech industry. With a strong commitment to sustainability and a dedication to preserving its natural beauty, Boulder continues to be a beloved destination for both residents and visitors alike.
