What it’s like
The place. Snyder is a very small community in Morgan County, on the plains of northeastern Colorado, with Beaver Creek running in or beside town. Homes here are valued higher than many would guess for a place this size. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while summers turn hot by July and the year stays on the dry side.
Work. Residents of Snyder mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Across Morgan County, the largest workplaces include Cargill Meat Solutions, Leprino Foods and Walmart. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than it was a year earlier, though the county has added a few more jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Beaver Creek is the nearest water, in or beside town. A longer drive away are Prewitt Reservoir, a reservoir for fishing and boating, and Jackson Lake State Park, a protected area built around a lake. Fort Morgan, also a longer drive away, is the nearest larger town and the site of the old fort that gave it its name.
