Originally located closer to the Little Thompson River, the town was moved in 1883 to its current location to be nearer to the Colorado Central Railroad, which improved transportation and commerce. Early settlers focused on farming, particularly sugar beets, wheat, and alfalfa, benefiting from irrigation projects that transformed the arid land into productive farmland. By the early 20th century, Berthoud had become known as the "Garden Spot of Colorado" due to its fertile soil and thriving agricultural industry. Over time, the town maintained its small-town charm while gradually expanding with new businesses and residential developments. Today, Berthoud balances historical preservation with modern growth, offering a mix of historic buildings, local events, and access to outdoor recreation while remaining a tight-knit community.
