Ault, CO

Sitting at the intersection of Highway 85 and Highway 14 in Weld County, Ault is a quiet northern Colorado town with deep agricultural roots. The community got its name in the late 1800s from Alexander Ault, a local grain buyer who helped area farmers through hard times. Today, locals often play on the name with the town slogan, "A Unique Little Town." Wide open plains, historic grain elevators, and a relaxed pace define the setting, offering plenty of breathing room and a classic rural atmosphere.

Daily life centers around a compact downtown, neighborhood parks, and local schools shared with neighboring rural communities. While Ault covers the basics with local diners and community gatherings, residents can easily head south to Greeley or west to Fort Collins for major shopping, healthcare, dining, and larger job markets. High plains weather brings breezy days and chilly winters, but the handy crossroads location makes Ault a practical pick for anyone looking for small-town living within an easy drive of the bigger Front Range hubs.
