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.
