Johnstown has thrown it's hat into the development and growth game as well. On Johnstown's Centennial just a few years ago this small country town was not more than a few blocks square at the junction of two main county roads. It has recently annexed land from it's town center 6 miles north to state highway 34. and four miles east to reach  I-25. These annexations have more than increased it's area by 5 times. Johnstown now encompasses 8.5 square miles.

The land along highway 34  is just south of the new Centerra development and The equally new Promenade Shops. This makes Johnstown right in the middle of the I-25/ H34 growth area.

Now developing major areas called Centerra, which is in Loveland and 2534 and Iron Horse are both in Johnstown. All of this is at the corner of I-25 and Highway 34 probably the fastest growing commercial and residential area in Colorado. 

Many people see it as a small town with good highway access to jobs as far as Denver. The town itself and it's residential communities are still considered "out in the country" as they are surrounded by corn fields, dairy farms and ranches.

The population in 2000 census was 3,827 it was  estimated at about 5,000 in 2004 and is now about 8000 in late 2006 and still growing fast.  Johnstown is located in Weld County which had a population of over 180,000 in 2000. It is now estimated that there are nearer 220,000.  Johnstown like most of it's neighbors in the northern Colorado area are fast growing and dynamic.
