The S t ar t o f the S t a t e
Colorado is a state with many nicknames. The
state flower is the Columbine, so it has been called
the Columbine State. It has been called the Lead
State. Lead is a metal found in the state. It has been
called the Highest State too. This is because it has
many mountain peaks. But one of its nicknames is
more famous than the rest. This nickname is as old
as the state itself.
Colorado became a state during a key year . That
year was 1876. Now , think back 100 years earlier
to 1776. An important document was signed that
year . It changed the course of history . It was
called the Declaration of Independence.
This is where Colorado’ s official nickname
comes from. Colorado is known as the
Centennial State. The word centennial is
used to describe the 100th anniversary of
something. Colorado became a state on the
nation’ s 100th anniversar y . It was the 38th
state to join the Union.
