因為科羅拉多州於美國立國滿100週年時的1876年加入聯邦，成為美國的第38州，故科羅拉多又名「百年之州」(Centennial
State)。提起科羅拉多時，大多數人都會將聯想到洛磯山脈(Rocky
Mountains)及無數高於14,000英呎的山巔。而科羅拉多一字源自於一個西班牙字，意即紅色或發紅的，指稱該州的地層顏色。時至今日，科羅拉多以其廣大的牛牧場、成千上畝的農地及白雪覆蓋的山脈聞名於世，而這片覆滿白雪的山是進行冬季運動的絕佳地點。科羅拉多的首府是丹佛，而它的州花是落磯山耬斗菜。
Called the "Centennial State," because it became the 38th state when the U.S. turned 100 in 1876, Colorado is most closely associated with the Rocky Mountains and has numerous peaks over 14,000 feet. The state's name comes from a Spanish word meaning "red" or "ruddy," the color of much of the state's terrain. Today, Colorado is known for its vast cattle ranges, agricultural acreage, and snow-covered mountains that are ideal for winter sports. Its capital is Denver and state flower is the Rocky Mountain columbine.
