Loveland's Indigenous History

We acknowledge that the land we love was home to Indigenous peoples long before Loveland was established. We honor the history, culture, and legacy of those who came before us.

The Loveland area sits within the ancestral territory of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute Nation peoples. The Big Thompson Valley was a significant corridor for Native peoples who lived, hunted, and gathered across the Front Range for thousands of years.
