About Severance

Severance is a northern Colorado town in Weld County, named for pioneer settler David Severance. It has grown quickly as part of the Fort Collins, Windsor, and Greeley orbit, but it still carries a small-town plains identity. Severance is locally known for serving Rocky Mountain oysters, a bit of food lore that gives the town an unusually specific hook. The Great Western Bike Trail and nearby Front Range views add to its mix of rural edges and commuter growth.
