History-
Denver was established by a party of prospectors on November 22,
1858 after a gold discovery at the convergence of Cherry Creek
and the South Platte River. The founders named this crossroad
after James W. Denver, Governor of Kansas Territory, which eastern
Colorado was part of then.
Denver was founded as the main supply town for
Rocky Mountain mining camps. Denver also emerged as a hub for
high plains agriculture. Breweries, bakeries, meat packing and
other food-processing plants made it the regional agricultural
center, along with being a hub for manufacturing farm and ranch
equipment, such as barbed wire, windmills, seed, feed, and harnesses.
Recreation-
Denver has many things to do within a mile radius. Downtown Denver
has three major sports stadiums, one of the nation’s largest
performing arts centers, three college campuses, an assortment
of art and history museums, a mint producing 10 billion coins
a year, a river offering white water rafting, over 5,000 hotel
rooms, a $140 million amusement park, an aquarium with sharks
and sea otters and well over 150 restaurants, brew-pubs, discos,
and nightspots.
