Economy:
Colorado started out as a mining territory and benefitted from major precious metals finds in the late 19th century. Later, the state diversified into agriculture, particularly livestock, wheat and corn, and both mining and agricultural presences exist to this day. Today, Colorado is home to many federal government facilities including NORAD, the US Air Force Academy, the US Geological Survey and the ADX Florence federal super-max prison. All of the government activity brings with it a private corporate presence from companies like Lockheed-Martin and Ball Aerospace.

Noteworthy:
More than a third of the land in Colorado is owned by the federal government.
