WELCOME TO FOUNTAIN VALLEY - Fountain, Widefield, Security



Fountain Valley, named by the New York Times as America's Millennium City, includes the communities of Fountain, Widefield, and Security. These communities are nestled along Fountain Creek in the foothills of the front range of the Rocky Mountains and represent a unique blend of urban attractions and rural delights.


The City of Fountain was established in 1859 and got its name from nearby Fountain Creek, named by early French explorers La Fontaine qui bouille, "the springs that boil".

The town of Security was established by American builders in 1953 and was named to reassure prospective home buyers. The town was developed on top of what was then, fields of hay, corn, and other crops. Cottonwood trees were transplanted from nearby Fountain Creek to line Security Boulevard. Today, Security and Widefield are home to many of our nation's military families from nearby Fort Carson.

Developer Jules Watson developed the connecting Widefield area in 1965 and chose the name to express the concept of open space. Enjoy Fountain Valley's parks and nature trails and be sure to watch for deer, antelope, wild turkeys, blue herons and other wildlife that can be viewed at the area nature centers. For the less wild, there is the 18-hole Appletree Golf Course, designed by Lee Trevino, with spectacular views of the front range and hosting over 30 local tournaments.
