The Fort Morgan Cut-Off of the Overland Stage Company (formerly the Central Overland, California, and Pike's Peak Express Company ) was a stage route that passed through Adams County, Colorado. It was established in September 1862 as an offshoot of the Overland Trail. The established stage route traveled through the present-day towns of Greeley and Laporte in northern Colorado. In LaPorte, Overland operated the LaPorte Station. [1] Just south of Greeley, Overland operated the Latham Station. The Sherwood Station Site was on the Fort Morgan Cut-Off center. [2] A connecting trail known as the Denver Road followed the South Platte River to Denver and the surrounding mining towns. The Fort Morgan Cut-off bypassed the stations between Fort Morgan, Colorado and Laporte and went directly to Denver.
