Denver, Colorado, named after the former Kansas Territorial Govenor James W. Denver, with its grand adventures and sites to see, can take one back to the pioneering days. One can imagine the past with wagon trails, cattle drives, and the campgrounds of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians. Imagine the hustle and bustle of the city in the days of gold and silver mining. Denver City, also known as the “mile high city” because of its high elevation, was founded in 1858 as a mining town later becoming the state capital of Colorado in 1867.
With Denver’s natural beauty few regions in the nation can compare. As a leader in high-tech, Denver’s employment rate has risen impressively in the last decade. Also leading in excellence is the St. Anthony Hospital system, being the first in the nation to pioneer the first air ambulance service. Denver International Airport is the most efficient cold-weather airports and has top ranking in best on-time arrivals. The airport, one of the nation’s largest airports, has a 53 square mile area.
Overcoming a fear of being bypassed because of the Rocky Mountain barrier, the airport has become a major focus for transportation. Denver’s agricultural abilities to raise some of the most impressive stock of cattle have helped diversify their economy. From a little city of dusty buildings on a long, grassy plain, to high rise buildings, over 200 parks, huge airports, redesign of technology has provided a remarkable place in Colorado.
