Broomfield County, Colorado Databases

On November 15, 2001, Broomfield became the 64th county in Colorado. As a city, Broomfield spanned 4 counties: Adams , Boulder , Jefferson and Weld. Established in 1877, it began as a small farming Community and later a Rail Road Depot. Slowly, Adams (1971), Boulder, Jefferson (1969), and Weld (1988) were all annexed and Broomfield became it's own county in 2001.

Because Broomfield is such a new county, you have to refer your genealogy researching to the "Parent counties", however there is some information on line because the City of Broomfield hasn't changed it's location.

I looked at the Districts in all 4 "Parent" Counties, and located Broomfield in 1920 in Boulder County only under Precinct 26 District 44. This census is not on line, however this would be one of the 4 places to find your family in 1920.
