- Synopsis
- Colorado is the eighth largest state in the country. All of the six New England states (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island) put together would fit inside Colorado's borders, with lots of room to spare. Early explorers from Mexico gave Colorado its name. It means "red-colored" in Spanish and was named after the Colorado River, which flows through red-colored rock called sandstone. Colorado's official nickname is the Centennial State because it became a state in 1876, when the United States celebrated the one hundredth anniversary, or centennial, of the Declaration of Independence.
