 The Fountain Valley Chamber of Commerce Welcomes You! 

Fountain Valley, named by the New York Times as America's Millennium City, includes the communities of Fountain, Widefield, and Security, Colorado.  These communities are nestled along Fountain Creek in the foothills of the frontrange of the Rocky Mountains and represent a unique blend of urban attractions and rural delights. The city of Fountain was established in 1859 and got its name from nearby Fountain Creek, named by early French explorers La Fontaine qui Bouille, "the springs that boils".  Security was established by American builders in 1953 and was named to reassure prospective home buyers.  Developer Jules Watson developed the connecting Widefield area in 1965 and chose the name to express the concept of open space.
