| The 64 counties of the U.S. State of Colorado. |
The U.S. State of Colorado is divided into 64 counties. Two of these counties, the City and County of Broomfield and the City and County of Denver, have consolidated city and county governments. Denver serves as the state capital. Counties are important units of government in Colorado since there are no civil townships or other minor civil divisions.
El Paso County, with a population of 730,395 in 2020, is the most populous county in Colorado, while San Juan County is the least populous, with a population of 705. Las Animas County, 4,776 square miles (12,369 km2) in area, is the most extensive county, while the City and County of Broomfield, 34 square miles (87 km2) in area, is the least extensive. The City and County of Denver is the most densely populated Colorado county, with a population density of 4,674 residents per square mile (1,805/km2) as of 2020, while Hinsdale County is the least densely populated county with a population density of 0.71 resident per square mile (0.27/km2).
Mount Elbert, the highest summit of Colorado and the entire Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 14,440 feet (4,401.2 m), is located in Lake County. The lowest point in Colorado is where the Arikaree River flows out of Yuma County and into Kansas, at 3,317 feet (1,011 m) elevation.[a] This point, which is the highest low point of any state, is higher than the highest points of 18 states and the District of Columbia.[1]
