Welcome to Colorado Genealogy Trails! This Adams County Colorado Genealogy Trails website is available for adoption! If you are interested in joining our group to become the Host of this site, read our volunteer information page and email Kim. We also need county hosts - we're brand new at supplying data for this state! Until we get a dedicated volunteer to maintain this site, we'll do the best we can to add data as we come across it. You can send your family's raw data (birth/marriage/death, cemetery, census, biography records) to us and we'll include it on this site.
History: Adams County was created by the Colorado legislature on April 15, 1901 out of the northern portions of Arapahoe County. The eastern portions of the county were realigned to become part of Washington and Yuma counties on May 12, 1903. Following a 1989 vote, 53 square miles of the county was transferred to the City and County of Denver for the purpose of constructing Denver International Airport, leaving the western portion of the county as two oddly-shaped peninsulas. Adams lost additional territory in its northwest corner on November 15, 2001, when the City and County of Broomfield was created. It is named for Alva Adams, a former Governor of Colorado. The county seat is Brighton; the largest city is Aurora.	State Motto: Nil sine numine (Latin, "Nothing without Providence" or "Nothing without the Deity")
