The town of Berthoud actually started with a different name. It switched due to an influential figure! Here’s the story:

Originally known as Little Thompson, the town was founded in the 1870s by early settlers. They named it after the Little Thompson River that runs through the valley.

Enter Captain Edward L. Berthoud. In 1877, the Colorado Central Railroad was being built through the area. Edward L. Berthoud, a Swiss-born engineer, surveyed the route. His contributions were significant. The townspeople decided to honor him by renaming their town “Berthoud” in 1880.

Bonus facts:

• Berthoud wasn’t just an engineer. He was also a prominent figure in Colorado’s early development. He helped found the Colorado School of Mines and even has a mountain pass named after him.

• Berthoud wasn’t always in its current location. After the arrival of the railroad, the town relocated about a mile north to be closer to the tracks. This spot is where Berthoud stands today.

So, there you have it! Berthoud’s name is a tribute to the vision and hard work of a man who helped shape the town and the state of Colorado.
