Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by

genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use
of all researchers.
This
county is available for adoption!
If
you are interested in joining Genealogy Trails as the host of any of our
county websites, view our Volunteer
Page for all the ins and outs of becoming a host.
(Enough knowlege to make a
basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data is required.)

Took its name from Fort Morgan. The original fort was in existence from
1865-1868. It was established as a protection post against the Indians
and was originally called "Junction or "Camp Wardell." In 1866 the post
became known as Fort Morgan in memory of Colonel Christopher A. Morgan,
who died earlier that year. (source: Colorado State
