State Highway 1 is a state highway of the U.S. state of Colorado. Approximately 10 miles long, it is located in northeastern Larimer County and runs between U.S. Highway 287/State Highway 14 just north of the city line of Fort Collins northeast to Interstate 25 at Wellington. The road passes through an area of the Colorado Piedmont between Fort Collins and Wellington, furnishes the principal road connection between those two communities. It passes through a relatively suburban area north of Fort Collins along the east side of Terry Lake, where it is called Terry Lake Drive. Going northward, passes south of Waverly and south of the towers of WWV, which are visible from the road. In Wellington, it becomes Cleveland Avenue, the main thoroughfare through town. Although the area along the road has traditionally been agricultural, it has been the site of rapid housing growth in recent years, particularly near Wellington.
