Sterling is a quiet town on the northeastern plains of Colorado, situated on the South Platte River. With few nearby tourist attractions, residents enjoy a tranquil rural life and provide services to travelers on the interstate. The several thousand students at Northeastern Junior College lend a youthful air to the community, and residents and visitors alike enjoy the waters of North Sterling Reservoir just a short drive from town.
Sterling is located along Interstate 76, about 120 miles northeast of Denver.
