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!

Located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder, Colorado has a rich history dating back thousands of years. The area was first inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Arapaho and Cheyenne, who were drawn to the fertile land and abundant wildlife. In the mid-19th century, gold seekers flocked to the area during the Colorado Gold Rush, leading to the establishment of Boulder in 1859. The city quickly grew as a supply town for mining camps in the surrounding mountains. By the late 19th century, Boulder had become a center for education and culture, with the founding of the University of Colorado in 1876. The city also became known for its progressive values and outdoor recreation opportunities, attracting a diverse population of residents. Today, Boulder is a thriving city known for its outdoor lifestyle, vibrant arts scene, and commitment to sustainability. It continues to be a hub for innovation and creativity, attracting people from all over the world.
