History of Denver

Before Denver grew into the big metropolitan city that it is today; it used to be regarded as only an airport stop over for visiting the mountains and ski areas. This is a bustling city that has a lot to offer. Although it is called a modern city, Denver has a rich, long history.

It is a cultural city and you will enjoy visiting the Denver Arts Complex which covers over four city blocks and has eight theaters. Here you will find the new Opera House, and you will also be able to see concerts and dance performances year round.

Denver has diverse neighborhoods that each has their own separate personalities. For instance, the Berkeley Park neighborhood is home to many art galleries, boutiques, bakeries and coffee shops. The Old South Pearl Street neighbor has an eclectic mix of shops and businesses. It also hosts a farmers market every summer.

Denver is a spread out bustling metropolitan city and Denver International Airport is the nation’s largest and is 53 square miles. Denver also has the nation’s largest city park system. There are more than 200 parks within the city limits. Denver is considered to be a sports capital and has all four major league sports teams, plus two professional soccer teams.

Fifteen years of rhythm | By Quentin Young © 2010 Longmont Times-Call
LONGMONT – Clinton Jackson is a comedian who lives in the Los Angeles area, where, based on a recent stand-up routine he performed in Denver, people are not as well-mannered as they are in Colorado.

What to Do in Denver

Most people associate Denver, Colorado with snow. After all, they are located just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, a full mile above sea-level.

However, Denver has more hours of sun per year than either San Diego or Miami Beach.

That may explain why Denver has the nation’s largest city park system.

Inside the city limits there are more than 200 parks. Including the surrounding areas, there are over 20,000 acres of parks to visit and explore.

Denver is the capital of Colorado and the United States’ 24th most populous city. It’s also home to the nation’s largest airport. At 53 square miles, Denver International Airport is bigger than Dallas-Fort Worth Airport and Chicago O’Hare Airport combined.
