Colorado is also considered to be a part of the Mountain, Southwestern, and Central regions of the United States.
Colorado is one of only three states (the others are Wyoming and Utah) that have only lines of latitude and longitude for borders.
Colorado is made up primarily of transplanted citizens, and this is illustrated by the fact that the state has not had a native-born governor since 1975 (when John David Vanderhoof left office) and -- until Bill Ritter's election in November 2006 -- had not elected one since 1958, in the person of Stephen L.R. McNichols.
