The 4th of July in Colorado

A Local Legacy
Many American cities have rodeos but Greeley, Colorado, has
the "Worlds' Largest Fourth of July Rodeo." The city was named
after Horace Greeley, a well-known newspaperman for the New
York Tribune. One of his famous sayings was "Go west, Young
Man, go west." In 1869, he sent one of his reporters west to
Colorado to write a story about farming. The reporter, Nathan C.
Meeker, liked the area so much he stayed and started a town
named after his boss. It was Meeker's vision that helped
establish a successful community based on, among other
qualities, cooperation, agriculture, irrigation, and education.
Every year the people of Greeley celebrate Independence Day
with a rodeo. In the early days, the rodeo was a small local event, but it grew more and more popular.
In 1922, more than 10,000 people came to the rodeo, and the town officially named the event the
"Greeley Fourth of July Celebration and the Spud Rodeo and Horseshow." They called it the spud
rodeo because spuds (another name for potatoes) are an important crop grown around Greeley. A few
years later, even more people came to the rodeo, when famous cowboys started competing with the
local ranch hands. Today, the rodeo lasts for two weeks and is called the Greeley Independence
Stampede.
