History
Founded in the late 19th century as an agricultural community, Severance remained primarily a small rural farming community based on the raising of cattle, sugar beets, potatoes, and onions. Growth began in the 1990s with construction of new residential subdivisions in the nearby rural areas of Weld County.
Volga Germans began settling in the area along with the development of the sugar beet industry.
