Greeley was founded by a group of visionaries who responded to New York publisher Horace Greeley's renowned exhortation, “Go West, young man!” Greeley's dream to establish an agricultural community in Colorado grew from his visit in 1859. Given power by his newspaper, the New York Tribune, and leadership by his agricultural editor, Nathan Meeker, the dream became a reality with the arrival of the first colonists in 1870.
