Official Timnath, CO website
Timnath is a town located in Larimer County, Colorado. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 223. Founded in 1884, the town is a small farming community located just east of Interstate 25 along Harmony Road southeast of Fort Collins. Although the town has remained virtually unchanged in recent decades, the encroaching growth of both Fort Collins to the west and Windsor to the south have placed in the town as of 2005 in an area considered favorable to development in the near future. Recent actions by the Town Board of Trustees to promote new development have brought about considerable controversy, including friction with Fort Collins, as well as a well a proctracted legal battle with Larimer County. Most local observers agree that the town will soon change drastically with population growth, but it is not settled what form this growth will take. The town is named after the Biblical city of Timnath.
MSN.com rated the area as one of the "Top 5 Places to Retire."
The town stretches sits on a small bluff on the east side of the Cache la Poudre River, approximately one-half mile east of the Harmony Road interchange on Interstate 25. The surrounding farmlands have been used primarily for potatoes, alfalfa, sugar beets, and cattle. The town is located just to the north of Harmony Road, where County Road 5 is intersected by the Union Pacific Railroad line between Windsor and Fort Collins. The current town buildings (which are known commonly known as "Old Town Timnath" in anticipation of impending development) largely line the north-south Main Street, which is a section of County Road 5. Most of the residences are one-family houses. The town has a small defined grid, with one street parallel to Main Street. Main Street structures include an elementary school (in the Poudre School District), a one-story modern post-office, a one-story town hall, and several other historic buildings. Commercial businesses include a sheet metal manufacturing facility.
The town was formerly home to large bar housed in the former Colorado Feed and Grain facility. The controversial business was shut down in early 2005 after the Board of Trustees refused to renew the liquor license. To the north, south and east of the town lie cattle pasture lands and cultivated fields. The areas of the south and east of the town are currently slated for first round of development. In 2002, in a move that brought about the current controversy with the county, the town declared these farm areas blighted as an "urban renewal area." Under state law, the move denies tax powers to the county and school district. The areas just north of town are somewhat protected by conservation easements obtained by the City of Fort Collins as a separator between the two communities. In 2004, however, the town annexed land north of the separator area, effectively stranding the separator between two parts of the town.
