Shipping from the State of Colorado to Wisconsin
Named after the Colorado River, the Territory of Colorado was organized on February 28, 1861, and on August 1, 1876, U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant signed Proclamation 230 admitting Colorado to the Union as the 38th state. Currently, Colorado is the 8th largest state in terms of land mass.
Colorado is nicknamed “The Centennial State” because it became a state one century after the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence. It is also well-known by the nickname “Colorful Colorado”. The state tree is the Colorado Blue Spruce, the state bird is the Lark Bunting and the state flower is the White and Lavender Columbine. The state motto is ‘Nothing without the Deity’ (Latin: Nil sine Numine).
Colorado is located in the western United States covering most of the southern Rocky Mountains and the northeastern portion of the Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains. Colorado is bordered by Wyoming to the north, Nebraska to the northeast, Kansas to the east, Oklahoma to the southeast, New Mexico to the south, Utah to the west, and touches Arizona to the southwest at the Four Corners. The state is known for its vivid landscape of mountains, forests, high plains, mesas, canyons, plateaus, rivers, and desert lands. Colorado is part of the western and southwestern United States and is one of the Mountain States. Denver is both the capital and most populous city of Colorado. Residents of the state are known as Coloradans, although the antiquated term “Coloradoan” is occasionally used.
Shipping to the State of Colorado from Wisconsin
Wisconsin became a U.S. territory just after the American Revolution and soon after began charming settlers looking for work in its mining, lumber, and dairy sectors. It was accepted into the union as the 30th state in the United States in 1848. Years before the Civil War, Wisconsin was a vital stop on the Underground Railroad, with many enslaved people passing through the state in their search for freedom in Canada.
This day, Wisconsin leads the United States in dairy production and is popular for of its superior cheddar cheese. The cheese is so rich, residents sometimes refer to themselves as “cheeseheads.” Reputable people from Wisconsin include architect Frank Lloyd Wright, magician Harry Houdini, and U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur.
