The City of Longmont is a Home Rule Municipality located in Boulder County and Weld County, Colorado, United States. Longmont is the 13th most populous city in the State of Colorado. The word "Longmont" comes from Longs Peak, a prominent mountain named for explorer Stephen H. Long that is clearly visible from Longmont, and "mont" from the French word for mountain. The city is located northeast of the county seat of Boulder and north-northwest of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. In contrast to its better-known neighbor, Longmont has a much more quiet and residential feel, although the city has begun to grow rapidly in recent years, in part as a bedroom community to the more-expensive Boulder and to nearby Denver.
Also notable, Longmont was declared an "All-America City" by the National Civic League in June 2006. The city was also named number 61 on the 2006 list of the top 100 places to live in the United States by Money Magazinehttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2006/snapshots/PL0845970.html.
