Lafayette: Coal Mining Heritage on Boulder County's Eastern Edge
Lafayette was founded in 1888 by Mary Miller, who named it after her late husband, Lafayette Miller. The town grew around coal mining, with several mines operating in the area through the early and mid-twentieth century. The last mine closed in the 1950s, but the mining history remains visible in the street grid and the modest workers' homes in the older neighborhoods near Old Town.
Today Lafayette has about 27,700 residents and sits on the eastern edge of Boulder County, between Boulder and Broomfield. Old Town Lafayette has undergone a revival, with restaurants, cafes, and small shops occupying the historic buildings along Public Road and East Simpson Street. The town draws people who want proximity to Boulder without Boulder's housing costs, though prices have risen sharply in recent years.
The Waneka Lake area provides open space and trails on the southern side of town. Indian Peaks Golf Course lies along the eastern border. Lafayette shares the general character of Boulder County's eastern plains communities: flat terrain, views of the Flatirons to the west, and a mix of older housing and newer subdivisions. Highway 287 and the Northwest Parkway provide connections to the larger metro area.
