History-
Residents voted to incorporate the City of Centennial on September 12,
2000 and elected its first officials on February 6, 2001. Centennial
officially became a city on February 7, 2001. The quest for a new city
took almost two and half years. The campaign included victories in the
state legislature and state Supreme Court. Formation of the new city
was approved by a 77 percent margin in the incorporation election. It
was the largest city incorporation in U.S. history.
The citizens of
Centennial have an unusual degree of control over their government. The
government is so small and lean that it is nearly invisible that
private companies deliver most public services. There will never be a
city hall; there is a bare minimum of city ordinances and no army of
code enforcers to intrude in people’s lives. Centennial’s leaders
believe that the goal to achieving these goals will be preserving the
sense of citizen involvement that initially stated all of this.
Recreation- Skiing is the
number one pastime, but that is not all Centennial has to offer for
recreation. Mountain climbing, hiking, trail riding, mountain biking,
golf, rock climbing, tennis, swimming, water skiing, and the list goes
on. All of these activities can be done in the close by city of Denver.
