The immigrant population in Colorado 123 years ago. Stacker.com published a story covering the breakdown of the Colorado immigrant population in the year 1900. Here's the link. Germany ranked #1 with 14,006 residents in Colorado, nationally there were 2,669,154. England ranked #2 with 13,575 Colorado residents and 843,491 residents nationally. Sweden ranked #3 with 10,765 residents in Colorado and 574,625 nationally. I spent most of Saturday watching the Colorado State wrestling championships. Dmarian Lopez had me on the edge of my seat while he held a 2-1 lead over his opponent Matthew Moore from Mesa Ridge in the 3rd round. After reading Mike Robuck's story in yesterday's Montrose Daily Press, I understood his strategy better. Here's a quote from the story by Lopez. "I thought he was going to come out firing," Lopez said. "He had a little thing where he tried to put me into the scorer's table, and he was doing that to all the other kids, but I'm not a pushover. I'm not like these other kids. I'm not going to let him push me." Here's the story. Congratulations Dmarian! You did us proud!
