Talk:Broomfield, Colorado

Untitled
It would be interesting to know why this tiny urban county was created in 2001. --Jfruh 21:37, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Before 2001, Broomfield existed in four separate counties: Boulder, Adams, Jefferson, and Weld. The decision to begin the push to become the 64th county of colorado was started in part to defray the problems with having to deal with four separate court districts, four different county seats (each an average of almost an hour away from Broomfield), and four separate county sales tax bases.  Broomfield decided that it could provide county services better and more responsively if it were its own county rather than dealing with four separate counties. neo E instein 08:19, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Please ensure that elections material posted on this page deals with the election in an objective manner. Please stay away from highly controversial topics that may only incite a flame war (trolling).

There is already enough trolling being done in the local media outlets for the entire campaign. It needn't be brought to this informational source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neoeinstein (talk • contribs) 08:19, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

The link to sister city Broomfield, UK directs only to the Broomfield disambiguation page, on which three Broomfields are listed in the UK. Could someone familiar with the sister city program fix this to link to the correct city's page?Az7997 15:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Origins of Broomfield name
I understand there's a sketchy article claiming to know the source of the Broomfield name, but it's not citing where it got its information from, suggesting it's just a guess. It seems unlikely that this town, which shares its name with an actual surname and an actual place in England, wouldn't take those into consideration when the name was selected. It's a bit of a stretch to get from "broomcorn" to "Broomfield". I'm suggesting that the linked source and the name explanation itself be removed until something more credible comes along (like the actual meeting minutes where this was discussed or contemporary news stories that reported on the change). [EDIT: There's no mention of "broomcorns" on the City's history site. There's mention of grain as a crop. (https://www.broomfield.org/386/History-of-Broomfield) There are other sites that cover this information, which I would recommend using instead of the linked article. (https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/city-and-county-broomfield) Also, I don't see support for a name change per se, as mentioned in the current version. There was an area called Zang’s Spur, but that wasn't the name of an actual city.] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.153.74.111 (talk) 01:07, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Flag isn't official but used throughout the city
After a back-and-forth discussion with a representative from the City and County of Broomfield, it was discovered that the Broomfield flag (the flag that currently flies over official Broomfield buildings, no less) was never officially adopted. In my last communication with the City, they informed me that they will start working adopting an official flag. I previously added the flag to the article believing it to be official. Now that City has discovered they do not have an official flag, I'd like to get input from others. Do we leave the flag in the article or remove it. I'm on the fence, since the flag does literally physically exist and is in use throughout the city. What's your thoughts? —  f c s u p e r ( How's That?, That's How! ) (Exclusionistic Immediatist ) — 01:36, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
