Long that is clearly visible from Longmont, and "mont", from the French word "montagne" for mountain.Longmont was founded in 1871 by a group of people from Chicago, Illinois. Originally called the Chicago-Colorado Colony, the men sold memberships in the town and with the proceeds purchased the land necessary for the town hall.
