History
The city was named for Lieutenant Lancaster Lupton, who built a trading post on Adobe Creek in 1838. The trading post, Fort Lupton, has been reconstructed near the site of the original fort using some of the original adobe bricks at the South Platte Valley Historical Park, which was established by the South Platte Valley Historical Society northwest of the city of Fort Lupton. It is a historical park about early area settlement.
The Territory of Colorado was organized on February 28, 1861, and the Fort Lupton, Colorado Territory, post office opened on January 18, 1869. Colorado became a state on August 1, 1876. The Town of Fort Lupton was incorporated on January 15, 1890.
