From the Colorado State Land Board: "The Colorado State Land Board has an illustrious history. We are
143-years-old, but our history dates to America's founding in the 1700s. In the 1780s America’s founders
were preparing for westward expansion at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. Thomas Jefferson developed
a system -- today often referred to as the Jeffersonian Grid -- to orderly track and divide land into
36-square-mile townships/ranges/sections. Each state that joined the union after the war received a certain
number of 1-mile sections to be held in a trust and used for public beneficiaries, usually public schools.
Colorado received 2 sections per township totalling 4 million acres at statehood in 1876. These are Colorado's
trust lands. Today we still own 2.8 million acres of trust land and the Colorado State Land Board is the state
agency that manages the trust and uses the land to help fund Colorado public schools. We've earned $1.4 billion
for Colorado public schools in the past decade."
