Historical
In the 1925 city council election, the Ku Klux Klan gained control, but was voted out in 1927.
Economy
The economy was based mostly on agriculture, especially sugar beets, until 1965, when IBM built a facility seven miles from Longmont. This development greatly increased the size of the town and helped the Boulder-Longmont area become the region with the highest concentration of software-related jobs in the U.S.
