Boulder’s earliest settlers arrived to the area in 1858. However, Boulder wasn’t incorporated as a city until 1871. Originally part of Nebraska Territory, Boulder was a supply hub for miners visiting the Rocky Mountains. These miners are thought to be amongst Boulder’s earliest business travel professionals. A few years later, a new railroad service arrived in the city which helped connect Boulder to nearby Denver. In 1877, The University of Colorado opened and helped pave the way for a new student population in the city. By 1880, Boulder’s population had risen well beyond the 3,000 mark, anchored by better transport links and an improvement in the city’s living conditions.
