Colorado owes its economic growth to the investment in the value of its mineral wealth in the 1850s, followed by the development of agriculture (irrigated crops, extensive farming). The induced activities (treatment of ores and fuels, agro-food industries) were the cause of its industrial growth.
The state today displays a diversified economy. Its central position, in the American space, has an effect on an important crossroads of communications. The subsoil is richly endowed with mineral resources: uranium, coal, oil, natural gas, why, money, molybdenum, shale oil. Agriculture, practiced both extensively and intensively, is very prosperous. Main agricultural resources are cattle and sheep, cereals, sugar beet, potatoes, fruits. The main industrial sectors refer to the treatment of primary materials, mineral, energetic or agricultural (oil refining, heavy industries, processing industries, agri-food industries) and light high-tech industries (medical and scientific equipment, aeronautical equipment, electronics).
Tourism is very developed. A true geological museum, the State has two national parks (Mesa Verde National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park) and numerous historical sites (Bent’s Old Fort, Fort Vasquez). It is also the region of the United States best equipped with winter sports stations (Aspen, Vail).
