COLORADO

Colorado's history is deeply intertwined with the Rocky Mountains, from the Native Americans who first inhabited the area to the early explorers and settlers who sought to tame the wilderness through ranching and farming. The state's economic foundation built on ranching, agriculture, and mining has faced challenges, particularly regarding environmental concerns related to these industries. The legalization of marijuana for adults in 2014 marks a significant social shift, sparking discussions about its impacts while funding public education through taxation.
