'''Centennial''' was a novel written by American author James Michener and published in 1974.
Written in episodes, Centennial traced the history of the plains of northeast Colorado from prehistory until the modern era. Geographic details about the fictional town of Centennial and its surroundings indicate that the region is in modern-day Logan County. Since the novel was written, the Denver suburb of Centennial, Colorado has been incorporated, although its location is far from Michener's fictional town of the same name.
Many episodes in the book are loosely based on actual historical events in eastern Colorado and southeast Wyoming, which for novelistic reasons are brought to a single locale. Parts of the book are loosely based on a family from Sterling, Colorado.
Centennial was made into a popular twelve-part television miniseries of the same name that aired on NBC from October 1978 through February 1979.
