## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Buckeye is a farming and ranching unincorporated community in north central Larimer County, Colorado, United States.  Bounded on the west by the 16,500-acre (67 km2) Roberts Ranch, the area includes Red Mountain Open Space to the north, Rawhide flats to the east, and extends south to Owl Canyon.
The tallest structure in the area is a grain silo on County Road 78.  Extensive feed yards are visible behind the silo which have historically been used for the custom feeding of sheep.


== History ==
In 1910, the Buckeye Land and Development Co., an Ohio-based company established its presence in Colorado, and provided a name for the widespread community.
