History Most of Jackson County is a high relatively broad intermontane basin known as North Park which covers 1613 square miles. This basin opens north into Wyoming and is rimmed on the west by the Park Range, on the south by the Rabbit Ears Range, and on the east by the Medicine Bow Mountains. Elevations ranges from 7,800 to 12,953 feet above sea level and is home to the head waters of the North Platte River. The term park is derived from parc, the French word for game preserve. At one time North Park was filled with herds of deer, antelope and buffalo. As a matter of fact there were so many buffalo in the area the Ute Indians gave North Park the name "Bull Pen". Now deer, elk and cattle vie for the same area. North Park may refer to: North Park, a valley in the Rocky Mountains in north central Colorado. ...

In November of 1861 Colorado set up 17 counties for the state, with Larimer County as one of these. This was where county Jackson County would be carved out of in 1909. But before then both Grand and Larimer Counties claimed the North Park area. In the beginning no one paid much attention to North Park because it was the hunting grounds of the Ute and Arapaho Indians. They fiercely defended these lands and the white settlers were often afraid to venture in. When valuable minerals were discovered in North Park, Grand County claimed it as part of their county because they wanted the revenue it would provide. The residents didn't care much because the county seat for Grand County was closer than the one in Larimer County, and all official business needed to be done at the county seat. But Larimer also claimed this county and it was contested all the way to the Colorado Supreme Court. In 1886 the court decided in favor of Larimer. This did not make the North Park residents very happy and they pushed for their own county until Jackson was formed. Larimer County is a county located in the U.S. state of Colorado. ...
