General Information about Severance

The Town of Severance is a Statutory Town located in Weld County, Colorado, United States. The population was 597 at the 2000 census. The town is located on the Colorado Eastern Plains, northwest of Greeley, a crossroads of county roads. Founded in the late 19th century as an agricultural community, the town remained primarily a small rural farming community based on the raising of cattle, sugar beets, potatoes, and onions. In the 1990s it began to grow aggressively by the construction of new residential subdivisions in the nearby rural areas of Weld County, especially as growth spilled over from nearby Windsor. The construction of new residential communities near the town has left the original agricultural community surrounded by modern construction and contributed to an upsurge in population. The town limits, extended through flagpole annexations, reach in tendrils nearly to Windsor and Fort Collins. Since the economic base of the town is quite limited, many of the new residents commute to jobs in Greeley, Fort Collins, Windsor, and even to Denver. Like many communities in western Weld County, the town afford a panoramic scenic view of the Front Range to the west.
Severance is famous within the region as the location of Bruce's Bar, a local watering hole founded in the 1950s. Bruce's was well-known for its offering of Rocky Mountain oysters (deep-fried bull testicles). Bar manager Bary Brim received a fax Wed morning, 31Jan2007, from owner Steve Ruth, who is in London, telling the staff to close the bar.
