Several railroads figure in the development of this area. The Colorado Central Railroad built a narrow-gauge line from Golden in 1873, the Denver, Utah and Pacific Railroad arrived in 1881, and the Denver, Marshall and Boulder Railway built a line through what is now Broomfield in 1886. The Denver, Utah and Pacific was widened to standard gauge in 1889. One of the early names for the area was Zang's Spur, after the railroad spur serving Adolph Zang's grain fields.[10]
The municipality of Broomfield was incorporated in 1961 in the southeastern corner of Boulder County. Researchers speculate the city was named for the sorghum grown in the area, also known as broomcorn, which farmers sold to manufacturers of brooms and whisk brooms.[11]
In the 1990s, after three decades of annexations, Broomfield stretched across Adams, Boulder, Jefferson, and Weld counties,[12] city leaders felt increasing chagrin with the need to deal with four separate court districts, four different county seats, and four separate county sales tax bases. They began pushing to make Broomfield a consolidated city-county similar to Denver, reasoning that they could provide services more responsively if it had its own county government.
The city sought an amendment to the state constitution to create a new county. The amendment was passed in 1998, after which a three-year transition period followed.
On November 15, 2001, Broomfield County became the 64th and smallest county of Colorado. It is the newest county in Colorado (and in the entire United States, if county equivalents are not included).[13]
On February 20, 2021, United Airlines Flight 328 from Denver to Honolulu experienced an engine failure after takeoff from Denver International Airport and debris from the engine landed in parts of Broomfield. Multiple homes were damaged, but no injuries were reported, and the plane landed safely at DIA.[14]
The elevation of Broomfield is 5,348 feet (1,630 m).[7] At the 2020 United States Census, Broomfield had a total area of 21,471 acres (86.890 km2), including 371 acres (1.503 km2) of water.[6] It is the smallest county by area in Colorado, and the 5th smallest in the United States.

The average household size was 2.42 people, and the average family size was 3.04 people.[22]
In 2022, age distribution figures showed 20.5% of residents under the age of 18 and 15.7% age 65 years or older.[23] The median age was 38.9 years and females made up 49.5% of the population.[23]
In 2022, the median household income in Broomfield was $115,833 and the median family income was $157,492.[24] The per capita income for the city was $58,850,[25] with 7.4% of the population living below the poverty line[26] and 2.5% without health care coverage.[27] By 2017–2021 estimates, Broomfield had the 3rd highest median household income among Colorado counties, and the 45th highest in the United States;[28] for families, the median income was the 2nd highest among Colorado counties, and the 24th highest in the United States.[29]
In 2022, the educational attainment of residents over age 25 included 94.2% being high school graduates, 57.8% holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and 24.6% holding a graduate or professional degree.[30]
Politics
When the county was formed in 2001, it was a swing county, and the city itself has voted for the winner of the national popular vote in each presidential election from 2004 to 2020. In the 2012 election, incumbent president and Democrat Barack Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney by roughly five percentage points. In recent years, the county has trended towards the Democratic Party. In 2016, it voted decisively for Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden won the county by an even larger margin in 2020.
Since its inception, Broomfield County has voted for the winner of Colorado's electoral votes.
As of April 1, 2024, 14,632 voters were Democrats, 10,062 voters were Republicans, and 27,105 voters were not affiliated with any party.[31]

Sheriff and county commissioners
Broomfield operates as a consolidated city-county. The city council acts simultaneously as the board of county commissioners, and the police chief is simultaneously the county sheriff. The Broomfield Police Department performs all of the duties that would normally be performed by a county sheriff's office, including operating the county jail (detention center), providing security and bailiff services for the Broomfield Municipal, County, and District Courts and the Combined Courts Building, and providing civil process in the county. The police chief can be hired or fired at will by the city council, which makes Broomfield's sheriff, along with Denver's, the only non-elected sheriffs in the state.
Since Broomfield used to be divided among four counties, students living in the city were served by the separate school districts for their county.[citation needed] While the city is now united within one county, the city is still separated among multiple school districts.
School districts that have sections of Broomfield:[35]
There are five school districts that overlap Broomfield, but the two largest school districts in Broomfield are Adams Twelve Five Star Schools and Boulder Valley School District.[citation needed]
Broomfield features two large public high schools (Broomfield High School, which underwent significant renovations from 2009 to 2010, and Legacy High), two public middle schools, and eight public elementary schools. There are four private schools: Brightmont Academy, a 1-to-1 school for all grade levels; Broomfield Academy, with an academic preschool, an elementary school, and a middle school; Holy Family, a Catholic high school; and Nativity of Our Lord Parish, a Catholic elementary school. Broomfield also contains two K–12 charter schools, Prospect Ridge Academy, and Front Range Academy, which has two Broomfield campuses.
