About
the city:
"The City of Evans is a Home Rule Municipality located in Weld
County, Colorado, United States. The population was 9,514 at the 2000 census,
and estimated at 17,912 as of July 1, 2007, by the Census Bureau. Long
considered the "second" city of Weld County and a vigorous competitor with
its neighbor, Greeley, for the Weld County seat, today Evans has become much
more than a bedroom community. It is now a municipality that is known as a
Regional Leader with industries and large retail locations that attract
workers from the entire northeast Colorado area. Named for Territorial
Governor John Evans, Evans was established in 1867 and was Weld County's seat
of government twice before Greeley finally captured the honor. Legend in
Evans is that the county records were stolen by night-riders from Greeley,
who also supposedly burned the courthouse." - from Wikipedia:
