Denver City Guide And Airport Transfer Service

Denver, nicknamed, The Mile High City, has sunlight 300 days a year, a prosperous culture, and the most beautiful and diverse neighbourhood. Denver, Colorado, is the most populous city in the U.S. with 2,897,000 in 2022. Denver is called a Mile High City for a reason: it is located 5,280 feet above sea level or one can say one mile high. Denver's origin took place because of an almighty metal, gold. If you see the Denver map, you will find it between the two terrains of a river and a creek. The city was discovered in the 1850s at the convergence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River. When treasure hunters were searching the Kansas Territory, which at the time included what is today Colorado, in 1858, they found mounds of gold. Over the period of two years, the fresh gold fever spread throughout eastern states. Nearly 1 million hopefuls travelled across the rough terrain to the region in search of immediate prosperity. James W. Denver was the territory's governor when the city of Denver, Kansas Territory, was founded. The territory was used by the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians for summer makeshift camps before being used as an area by General Larimer of the U.S. Army.

After 1858, in an attempt to have Denver City the county seat of the-Arapahoe County, Kansas, the site's name was changed to "Denver City" in honour of Kansas Territorial Governor James W. Denver. Strangely, Denver had already resigned as governor and had no influence in choosing the capital when Larimer named the city after him to win his favour. Further, during the next two centuries, the Denver map was revamped; new territories were marked, new transcontinental railroads were laid, and another metal, silver, was discovered in the city, making it a city in demand once again after the 1850s. The city bloomed through the progressive era in the 20th century, witnessed the Great Depression as well, bore the after-effects of World War II and has thrived since then.
