Fact text
- Longmont's name is half French, 'mont' means mountain, so the city is literally named 'Long Mountain' after the very visible Longs Peak.
- Longmont hosted Colorado's very first library in 1871, but the whole collection of 300 books vanished within a year.
- The city built its own gigabit fiber-optic internet network, called NextLight, wiring every home and business itself rather than waiting on a big telecom.
- Longmont is the only city in Colorado recognized as a silver-level bicycle-friendly community that is neither a major tourist hub nor a university town.
