This book covered different eras from 1850 to 2001. From 1850 - 1900, we see the different families that were the first to establish residence. At that time, the town was made up of a Post Office, Railroad and the name "Broomfield". 1900 to 1950 saw more farming added and the railroad flourished. Schools were built along what is now Vance Street. From 1950 to 2001, the book led us into a major time for city development. Government added more schools and the railroad changed over to freight, which was more profitable.

This book goes into a little more depth of the families and the history each brought to the new area. We learn about area land markers, and Lakeview Cemetery with 2 acres and a signed agreement with the city. It looks back with pictures of the grange and the first church and the first 3 schools (Nativity of the Lord, Emerald and Cottage). Bits and Pieces from different newspapers were added including a great write up on Shep the dog. It also includes each mine in Broomfield with the location listed.
