Ault is a town in Weld County, Colorado, United States. The town was founded in 1884 by Andrew Ault, who named it after himself. The town was originally an agricultural community, with the main crops being sugar beets and wheat. In the early 20th century, the town experienced a period of growth and prosperity, with the construction of several new buildings, including a school, a church, and a hotel. However, the Great Depression of the 1930s had a significant impact on the town, and many residents left in search of work elsewhere. The population of the town gradually declined over the following decades, and by the 1970s, the town was considered a “ghost town” with only a handful of residents remaining. In recent years, the population has begun to grow again, with many new residents moving to the area for its small-town charm and proximity to larger cities like Denver.
