Settled in the middle 1800's, Fort Collins was home to almost 1 million Injuns (or Native Amricans as they prefer you to believe) who believed the Horsetooth rock formation was a God that demanded Lamb sacrifice every hour. When White-Americans came to the area, they were amazed at all of the unused lamb meat, and subsequently build a Fort to contain all the meat (much like Fort Knox contains gold. In honor of all the fallen lambs, Fort Collins High School's mascot is the Lambkins- Quite possibly the worst mascot ever.
