colorado celebrates first hundred years As our nation celebrates its 200th birthday, Colorado will be celebrating its lOOth. Colorado became the 38th state in the Union on August 1, 1876. The state's name comes from the Spanish word for RED, given to the Colorado River, which originates within the state. Colorado is also known as the Silver State, for the silver mined in it, and the Switzerland of America, for its mountains and valleys. But most important, especially this year, Colorado is known as the Centennial State, because of its entrance into the Union a century after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Colorado has done its share in celebrating the centennial-bicentennial by manufacturing the new commemorative license plate and by setting up bicentennial headquarters buildings throughout the state. ,fvf'-'-QX s PEAK OR BusT'ByX7 ,if HEADQUARTERS 6 X ,f 16
