About Colorado
From Ballotpedia
Colorado became the 38th state to enter the union of the United States of America, on August 1, 1876, thus gaining the nickname "The Centennial State." Nestled in the Rocky Mountain region, Colorado's border is defined as the geospherical rectangle stretching from 37°N to 41°N latitude and from 102°03'W to 109°03'W longitude (25°W to 32°W from the Washington Meridian). Colorado is one of only three U.S. states (with Wyoming and Utah) that have only lines of latitude and longitude for boundaries.
Colorado women were granted the right to vote in 1893. The state has seven U.S. Congressional districts, based on the 2000 Census. It is divided into 64 counties, including two counties with consolidated city and county governments.
