ADT Monitored Home Security Systems in Fort Morgan

Fort Morgan may not be a destination city like Denver or Boulder, but that's fine because this unassuming city is Colorado's charming little secret. The township was originally established in the 1880s after outposts in the area closed down. During World War II, a military school was established at the Fort Morgan State Armory and was considered part of the West Coast Air Corps Training Center. Since that time, Fort Morgan has primarily maintained an agrarian economy, and the Morgan State Armory is now used as the town rec center.

From those humble roots and proud contributions to US history, Fort Morgan has managed to keep its small-town feel intact across the years, even as the rest of Colorado speeds by around it. Fort Morgan has crime rates that are well below the state and national averages, and anyone will tell you how great it is to raise a family here. With such low crime rates, you may not desperately need a lot of ADT's home security options, but you can certainly take advantage of the savings that come from the energy-efficient features of ADT smart home automation.

On the note of smart tech, two of America's most well-known science fiction writers spent time in Fort Morgan during their early childhoods. Michael Crichton, creator of classics like Jurassic Park, Twister, and Westworld, spent a brief time in the city while his father was training to serve in World War II. Philip K. Dick, the mind behind Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Minority Report, is buried in Fort Morgan, next to his twin sister. Is it a coincidence that these two authors are celebrated for their innovative plot ideas and the inspiration behind many Hollywood blockbusters, or is there something truly inspirational about the seemingly sleepy city of Fort Morgan?
