Charlie Clay, Northern Colorado’s First African-American

Charlie Clay was an early Northern Colorado pioneer and the first African-American to settle in what became Larimer County. His story is full of adventure, tribulations, and an entrepreneurial spirit. Meg Dunn, Fort Collins’ premier local historian, has been fascinated by Charlie’s story ever since she first heard of him, and she’s eager to share his tales of daring do, brushes with fame, and his all-around congenial spirit. Charlie was an important early pioneer whose story needs to be told. Come hear Meg’s take on how Charlie’s precocious spirit was an inspiration in early Fort Collins.
